Network Access Pricing - EVPL Service
JerseyConnect is a free service provided by the New Jersey State Library, an affiliate of the Thomas Edison State University. Through JerseyConnect, there is no charge for WAN or Internet service.
However, libraries wishing to connect to the JerseyConnect network require a transport circuit, available from Verizon. We use competitive bidding and group buying to keep the price as low as possible. This service is also E-Rate eligible, and E-Rate assistance is available at no cost to libraries.
Verizon EVPL Circuit Prices (36-month commitment)
| Transport | Speed (Mbps) | Cost / month |
|---|---|---|
| EVPL | 10 | $312 |
| EVPL | 100 | $307 |
| EVPL | 1000 | $480 |
| Other bandwidth increments are also available. For full pricing options see the Participation Agreement below, starting on page 15. | ||
The PA now has a section that allows libraries to add JerseyConnect staff members as contacts for their accounts (on page 11). Moving forward, Verizon will require this if a participating library would like JerseyConnect staff members to assist them with contract and billing related issues. Without adding JerseyConnect staff to your PA agreement, we will be unable to assist in these areas. If you would like our team members to be added to your agreement, please contact us as netops@jerseyconnect.net.
Verizon has provided the below escalation document and contacts. You should continue to work with your current account representative and use this document for escalation issues only.
