"5) What is or will be the required bandwidth speed for your network?Here's a tip... Network bandwidth is measured in Kb, Mb, Gb, etc. Notice the small "b" in Gb? This stands for "GigaBIT". An uppercase GB would be referred to as "GigaBYTE". There are 8 bits to a byte, so the difference in the two is a multiple of 8 (in other words - a lot). You might want to fix this as your site loses all credibility when perused by someone who knows what they are looking for..."
