"premium" internet, 10mbps shared, one IP, no routers allowed - $1k 3mbps = $3500 6mbps = $6000 10mbps = $7.8k

I think either no internet or tue cheapest one. What do we need it for? Last year I don't recall missing it?

The plan this year is to have a hacking space setup. We're going to bring enough data and compute (likely in one box) so that anyone on the team can sit down with a collaborator, pick a problem, and prototype a solution.

The conference internet is probably fine to support this. But, the way networking there works, we won't be able to access our local server over conference wifi. So, buying dedicated internet is the easiest way to create a private little network that allows us to access our own resources and the internet at large. It also isolates us against wifi issues. But, it means we don't need super fast internet. I think 3mbps would work, but if 6mbps is less than twice as much, maybe that's worth it?
