Queens area anyone? >Duke Tech: First ISP in Queens Borough of New York City to Offer High-Speed, Internet Access via DSL FYI December 17, 1998 -- Duke Tech, a pioneer ISP in high-speed Internet access, today announced it will offer high speed DSL services through an agreement with Covad Communications Company. This offering is the first of its kind to be introduced in the Queens area. High speed Internet access will now be available to businesses throughout Queens in early 1999. DSL, which stands for digital subscriber line, is an emerging technology which enables high-speed data rates, ideal for Internet access. Rather than using expensive TI lines or settling for a dial-up connection that averages 56 Kbps on a good day, small businesses or home offices now have an alternative. ADSL, asymmetric digital subscriber line, provides throughput rates of up to 1.54 Mbps. "We are proud to be one of the first providers for the new ADSL services which will offer access at speeds up to 1.54 Mbps. This at least 27 times faster than a traditional dial-up connection, and a fraction of the cost of Frame-Relay T1 lines,'' stated Wen K. Liao, president and CEO for Duke Tech. "We have already gotten tremendous response from our current client base of companies. Furthermore, we plan to aggressively market these services in 1999.'' Pricing for the service through Duke Tech has not yet been officially announced. For more information about subscribing to this service, contact Duke Tech at (718) 961-3259.
