Quoted $17,500 to upgrade our network

Hello Friends,

Let me start by saying while I am techy, can troubleshoot, etc. I am a little over my head right now. Currently our business network is on a 50mbps down / 10mbps up plan with our ISP. We are experiencing some delays when it comes to using our VOIP phones and when needing to do zoom meetings, etc. We were given the all clear from upper management to upgrade our plan to Gigabit. The issue with that is the current switch is limited to 100mbps up and down and therefore would need an upgrade too in order to handle the upgraded speeds.

The price we were quoted was $22,000 CAD (about $17,500 USD) This does not include any new cabling as the building has cat6 and cat5e network cables through out. What is does include is:

• Meraki MX105 Cloud Managed Security Appliance
• Meraki MX105 Advanced Security License, 3 Years
• Meraki 1 GbE SFP Copper Module
• Meraki 10G Base SR Multi-Mode
• Meraki MS120-48FP Switch L2 Cloud Managed 48PT GBE PoE
• Meraki MS120-48FP Enterprise License, 3 Years
• Meraki MS125-48FP L2 Stackable Cloud Managed 48X GigE
• Meraki MS125-48FP Enterprise License, 3 Years
• Meraki MS210-48FP 1G L2 Cloud Managed 48X GigE 740W PoE Switch
• Meraki MS210-48FP Enterprise License, 3 Years
• Meraki 10 Gb Twinax Cable with SFP+ Modules, 1 Meter
• Meraki AC Power Cord for MX and MS (US Plug)

This, just seems like a lot to get our 11 workstations better internet speeds. Could someone please advise if this is way over the top or if this is standard? Would there be a cheaper option that doesn't disk network security?
