On February 25, 1999, ECSI enhanced our existing Internet facilities by providing substantially more bandwidth to our clients. Until now, we provided 56k access to our Internet facilities (WWW, FTP, etc). We now support full T1 access at over 1300k, twenty-four times the previous offering. (Note: Bandwidth is the measurement of how much data can be transmitted in a given amount of time.) The benefits of the larger bandwidth will initially provide faster transmissions with our clients who send or receive updates either with Remotely Possible, FTP or their Web browser. We've seen transmission speeds increase anywhere between two and twelve times faster than before. Clients should notice similar improvements. An improvement that may not be obvious is that more clients can now access our services concurrently than ever before. The fine people from @Work have enabled us to provide this enhanced level of service. Through the exemplary efforts of their staff, the people from @Work ensured that the service was delivered, installed and configured on time with Zero down time to our clients or staff. Background This is the third step in our four-part plan to substantially enhance the Internet services that ECSI provides our clients and their students.
