Providence, Rhode Island
With Brown University, Providence College, Johnson and Wales University, and the University of Rhode Island as well as one of the world’s leading art colleges, the Rhode Island School of Design, all within the city limits, the influx of new students every year has kept Providence on top of the technology ladder since the inception of publicly accessed internet. Students demand high-speed broadband DSL, ADSL and T1 connections from their internet service providers and in turn, the ISPs have scrambled to keep their clients happy and online.
In September 2005, Verizon opened its Fiber Solutions Center in Providence to support its advanced fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network and FiOS broadband internet access services that offer both residential and business customers the fastest data speeds along with clear voice and video services.
Providence has also followed suit of many larger cities such as near by New York in developing a first-responders wireless broadband DSL internet mesh system to help combat crime and keep the emergency services better connected. What does this mean to residents and visitors? Not much except you and your laptop will be much safer while sitting at your favorite coffee shop surfing the net on their free Wi-fi broadband DSL connection.
There are many internet service providers (ISP) available in Providence including AT&T Yahoo High Speed Internet, Covad High Speed DSL, Comcast Internet, Sprint, Time Warner Road Runner High Speed Online, BellSouth Fast Access, EarthLink DSL, Qwest DSL, MegaPath and MCI to name a few.
Not just for students, broadband DSL is essential for residential and businesses as well. It offers speeds of up to 50x that of dial up, no clogging up the phone line and continuous connection with no need to log in every time you want to check your email!
