Luxury rentals adding T-1 to Drmn and Hdwd Flrs

Article Abstract:

T-1 lines are available to apartment dwellers for as little as $75 per month in buildings that have been wired with the high-speed data line. Residential real-estate developers are discovering the value of offering T-1 in new structures as a means of attracting Web professionals and amateurs. T-1 theoretically carries data up to 50 times as fast as conventional lines connected to average, 28.8-baud modem. Corporations and new-media start-ups until now have exclusively offered T-1 access because its monthly service rate totaled several hundred dollars. One shared line can serve an unlimited number of apartments, but on-line traffic will lower speed. Other bandwidth problems can arise when tenants use computers on their T-1 lines as their own Web site hosts. Buildings equipped with T-1 are available in sites such as Manhattan and Sunnyvale, CA. ISDN lines and cable modems are alternatives.

Web hears you knocking but you can't come in

Article Abstract:

Numerous problems prevent World Wide Web users from accessing a Web page. Traffic on the Web or server, rather than the PC or phone line, frequently accounts for the troubles, according to Time Warner's Pathfinder site. Unsuccessful users should continue to try accessing a Web site, but downloading can consume a line between 20 minutes to three hours. Web sites also can become unavailable for reasons that range from a lost ISP connection to a temporary Web page update. Users sometimes misinterpret lengthy loading time for a crash and hit the browser's Stop button. Even the slightest incorrect URL entry will prevent access. Another scenario consists of home pages or Internet search engines that link users to pages that are no longer in operation.
