Faster Internet in Barrington 220!

On October 17, 2022, Barrington 220 took another step forward with the State of Illinois E-Rate consortium program. We switched our Internet service “last mile” from Comcast to one managed by the State of Illinois. This change provides us with a 250% increase in Barrington 220's Internet bandwidth, while reducing our cost to the district.

In November, we will be switching our building-to-building network connections, increasing most of our connection bandwidths tenfold. In addition, a new high-speed service will be provided to our Barrington Transition Program building. This project is also mostly funded by the State of Illinois.

Your patience during October 17's evening scheduled network outage was much appreciated, as this allowed us the time to reconfigure our connections.
