You do not need an additional connection, that would be a waste. However, you do need another switch for the new floor, as well as cabling to link to the existing space. If Internet speed is a concern, upgrade the bandwidth of the existing connection and let the whole office benefit.

Is not me need the extra route to another internet connection because that is customer requirement.Please advice how to make the old office and new office able to interlink together and have different route to internet.Thanks
please first advise where are the existing devices located (at new or old office).

The existing device is located at old office.
I do not know if your existing firewall will allow it (not familiar with Checkpoints), but if you replaced with a Sonicwall, you could have 2 subnets defined and have each subnet use one of the internet connections. That would enable both offices to talk and not have to do anything like a point to point VPN between firewalls.
In this scenario, you will require a switch for the new office, along with a cable going from the new floor to the existing.

Their own firewall or their own modem? Both places can have their own modem, and share the same firewall, and things will be perfectly fine. Also, it will accomplish exactly what you're looking for at the best cost.

for the new office they don't want to plug in to firewall.

I explain to them before but they still want their own design because in the first place I has suggest placing another firewall in new office and I will use both firewall interface route the interlink also ,if the can buy firewall actually can solve my problem already.
Who is involved in this from a managerial perspective?
however, to make it workable, you need to make sure the connection type is compatible with your existing Internet facing router, e.g. ADSL, Cable, Ethernet or Fiber. any more information please?
