As a North Somerset school you may well have noticed that your current broadband service costs will noticeably increase from April.

At Soltech IT we offer an alternative, schools based broadband solution that can save schools thousands of pounds.

Already a large proportion of North Somerset schools are realising significant savings and improved broadband speeds using EXA broadband via local reseller Soltech IT Ltd.

It's not just limited to North Somerset schools, schools throughout Somerset and Bath and North East Somerset have also been quick to make the switch to schools broadband with Soltech IT.

What are the costs?

As an example, EXA broadband via Soltech IT costs £2450 per annum for a 20Mb broadband connection, which in a lot of cases can represent a two or threefold saving for your school.

Are these savings genuine?

Our experience shows us that in most cases there are savings to be made. We are always happy to provide a school with a FREE quotation so you can decide for yourself.

In recent weeks, a North Somerset school, to whom we provide EXA broadband decided to carry out a full budgeting review, which included looking at the costs of broadband.

The school received a competitive quotation from a well known provider for a 10Mb connection costing more than £6,000 per annum.

In this instance, the school stuck with EXA broadband through Soltech IT as the school was paying considerably less at just over £2,000 per annum for a 14Mb broadband connection

As you can see it's not just savings that can be made, speeds can increase as well.

Is it the same service?

Yes, it is the same service. Although, the level of support and response times can be significantly quicker with Soltech IT / EXA
