Campus Computing NewsAlternative Internet Service ProvidersBy Dr. Maurice Leatherbury, Executive Director of Information Technology and Academic ComputingAs was previously
announced, UNT will cease providing dialup Internet service
effective August 31, 2003. We've asked various Internet Service
Providers to give us information and any special "deals" for our users
who will be looking for alternative providers, and although we were
disappointed at the small number of respondents to our request for
information, we did garner some interest. The list of respondents as
well as quite a bit of additional information about alternatives can be
found at the Help Desk Web site: You'll see there that Verizon, the local telephone provider, didn't
respond to our RFI but you can check on availability and pricing of
Digital Subscriber Lines at Verizon's Web site: If we do receive any additional information from Verizon, we'll post it on the Helpdesk site. |
