5mbps up is really not much for 200 devices. &nbsp;Any way to increase the upload speed?

Yes... to 20Mpbs... just want to make sure that is the issue before committing to a year of it.

Your upload by itself would be a major issue, especially if you make use of VoIP. Does the loss of connectivity only occur during school hours, or does it happen afterward too? Also, what type of firewall is in use there? Could be possible that it is getting a bit overworked.

We have about 200 devices in our school with a bandwidth of 70Mbps down and 5Mbps up. &nbsp;This is via a cable provider.<br />
<br />
45, or so, of the devices are wired while the rest are wireless Surface Pros.<br />
<br />
Maybe 20 or so have youTube, etc access... the students do not.<br />
<br />
We are experiencing random Internet issues (losing connectivity).<br />
<br />
Thoughts on what the issue could be?

Bandwidth issues?

Bandwidth

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
