MPLS

Morning all,

once again I'm out of my depth

The current MPLS provider where I work is, to be polite, a bag of ****e. We're stuck with them until October 2013, but I've been asked to plan the replacement with the idea of getting a damned good idea of who we will be going with by about march time.

It's a medium sized business, with 7 sites in the UK (Chelmsford - 2 sites HQ and Lab), Brighouse, Mansfield, Hamilton, Newport and Newcastle.

Current setup is:

HQ - 10mbit fibre + ADSL2+ backup
Lab - Dual ADSL 2+ (yesterday signed the PO to replace one of the ADSL lines with a 100mbit wireless link to HQ and keeping one ADSL as backup)
Brighouse - 4mbit EFM and ADSL2+ backup
Mansfield - 4mbit EFM and ADSL2+ backup
Hamilton - 2mbit EFM and ADSL2+ backup
Newport - dual ADSL2+
Newcastle - currently internet connection supplied by Virgin as part of the rent, but moving to new premises so will be setting something up until Oct next year

Any suggestions as to which providers to approach? I think I'l like to get 3 prices, with maybe 2 of those as full proposals afterwards.
