Technology Update

In October, we will begin to issue full credit on the internet portion of your monthly technology bill. We will do this until either (1) we have a permanent contract in place with a major and dependable provider, or (2) until the current system is functioning correctly. As of this writing our understanding is that each subscriber is experiencing 3MB down load and 896KB upload. If the system maintains this level, we will be satisfied. DSL provides 1.5Mb down and about ½ of that up. If you have need for a higher service level, please contact Sharon (755-7829) to increase your service level.Regarding the procurement of a long term provider, we were informed this week that the company’s attorneys have finished their investigation and a contract will be forth coming for our review. So, hopefully we are nearing an end of the technology problems we have experienced to date.
