Quicker access to the web would be helpful. We have had few difficulties once we set up our direct link to a service provider. The main difficulties have been with equipment and connecting to the Internet. This problem will be solved over the summer, as our school is working to install a new lab that my students will have regular full-time access. Our local telephone company has been less than cooperative in making Internet access possible for our location.
Unreasonable costs are the core of the problem.
With only one station operating, access is very limited for a student and faculty body of 250 users. Our service is of a poor quality. Our line is slow, and local demand makes access difficult or impossible during peak user times. The difficulties we've had have been lines run that are dead, equipment that is unavailable and a room not accessable. Connections to the net with our service provider and phone company have not been as reliable as needed for an educational setting.
