Educational Solutions Customer Testimonial

ASTE brings e-mail and high-speed Internet access to hundreds of educators and conventioneers.

Todd Shechter, a senior network engineer for Oregon State University, deals with bits, bytes and broadband on a daily basis. He has worked with and for many of the largest educational technology and network providers across the country. When he says AT&T Alascom provides the fastest, most reliable service in Alaska, he knows what he is talking about.

Todd is a native of Fairbanks and each year he coordinates network services for the Alaska Society of Technology in Education (ASTE) conference. This year, he worked in conjunction with AT&T Alascom to bring e-mail and high-speed Internet access to hundreds of educators and conventioneers.

“AT&T Alascom came through with everything we needed,” Todd said. “The service was very fast and very reliable. We were pleased with the installation and the information they gave us - it was very timely.”

“We had several planning meetings in advance. AT&T Alascom was very clear about the schedule and what they were going to do for us. Everything was completed on time, and they even tested it for us.”

Without the right service, conference presenters and vendors wouldn't have been able to link educators with the tools necessary to take their classrooms through the 21st century. Todd has seen it happen before. “We've worked with other companies in the past and we've had problems with reliability, with keeping the connection up, as well as speed and through-put. The service just wasn't fast enough to suit our needs.”

But, according to Todd, no problems with AT&T Alascom: “I'd absolutely use AT&T Alascom again. The company really proved itself. They offer a fantastic product, they're fast, they're reliable and the company has great customer service.”

Millions of data links, thousands of computers, hundreds of educators and only one company that could bring them all together - AT&T Alascom.

“AT&T Alascom offers a fantastic product. They're fast, they're reliable and the company has great customer service.”
