@scottalanmiller is that really better than the stabby arsonist? At least with those you can tell they will stab you and burn your house down, with lying sales dicks (read: all of them), not as easy to spot, especially when you aren't aware of where they get their income. Wolf in sheep's clothing, and all that.

I'm "lucky", for me, the salesman is easier to spot. It's my super power.

Thank you Scott, and everyone. This was exactly what I needed. I felt something was not right and I was starting to question myself. Now I have what I need to formulate a plan and present it to our CEO so that we can stay the course with the initial plan using the USGs.
One other question I had about the USG. I see the specs for the USG Pro 4 should be able to handle all of our branches traffic but will it slow things down? Should I think about placing an XG at the DC to handle all 60-70 users or will the Pro 4 handle it just fine?

I don't think that you provided enough data for us to know. The Pro 4 is decently fast, but might be around its limit. Users is a silly guide that firewall makers tend to use, but it doesn't mean anything, really. What is the network bandwidth that you have at each site (DC and branches?) That, more than anything, determines what the units will have to handle.

Glad we could help. We're always happy to make life difficult for scamy sales... things.

We'd need to know your ISP bandwidth to be able to answer this.

The USG 4 should be able to push around 120Mb/s over IPSec. If you need more than that, then the bigger model is needed.

So I would happily get onto the phone with this rep and your CEO if you'd like. CEO can be on mute. But I will only do a free "expose the scammer" call if someone with the authority to consider legal action is listening. But if the CEO wants to hear him get exposed lying in real time, I'm happy to make that call.
Time for a party call!!

Yup, it'll be quite the party.

Is that aggregate?

We'd need to know your ISP bandwidth to be able to answer this.
We currently are using 50/10 on Comcast Cable, but we will be moving over to a private Fiber network within the next 6 months. With the dedicated Fiber line, we will have 20 Mbps for 13 branches, 50 Mbps for Corporate and 100 Mbps for the DC(Atmosera).

This means the USG is more than sufficient because you cna't go faster than it can process traffic.

That's really slow for a DC. You'd normally expect more than that in most cases. This isn't a big deal for you, as your sites are only so fast. but you might get caught with your DC being a bottleneck.

@scottalanmiller I have 600 down at home so that is slow.

How much does that cost?

@wrx7m $75 a month, just internet though, nothing else bundled

Daaaaayum!!!! I pay the same for 150/25, internet only. Lucky so and so!

@RojoLoco Thats what I had with Spectrum. They pissed me off so I went looking and Grande communications had that and they are much nice to deal with. I had them a long time ago but where I lived would only offer Spectrum at the time. Now since I bought a house I got choices.
