Commodity Internet (Internet 1)

OSC Networking provides direct connection to the general public network known as the Internet. This connection to the internet can be done via T1’s, OC’s, or other broadband services. For our OSC Networking membership, we also offer the IntraOhio bandwidth option. This means we charge less for network traffic IN-state as opposed to regular commodity Internet.

Internet 2 Service

OSC Networking is proud to offer connectivity for Internet 2. Internet 2 is a non-profit consortium which develops and deploys advanced network applications and technologies, for education and high-speed data transfer purposes. This is paid for by an educational or research facility on a site fee structure with unlimited access. Secondary access from a partnering educational institute is also available to fit smaller access needs.
