Thank You to Simply Bits for Overhauling Our Internet!

Wow! Internet service provider Simply Bits took pity on our trickle of an internet connection and outfitted us with a monster of an internet upgrade with quintupled speed and full Wifi coverage throughout the space. This is a commercial-grade internet and Wifi package usually reserved for businesses. And did we mention we're getting it all for free?

WE'RE GETTING IT ALL FOR FREE!

On Thursday morning, technicians from Simply Bits hooked us up to a much wider broadband pipe, unloading a 25 megabits download speed and 15 megabits up! For reference, our previous speed was a measly 5 megabits down. This is an incredible improvement to our web access!

These speeds open Xerocraft up to new ventures like teleconferencing of workshops, speeches, meetings, concerts and other events. Not to mention the faster downloads and shorter streaming video buffering you'll see on our computers and your laptops and mobile devices.

Next week, Simply Bits is coming back to install our new Wifi access points. These are state of the art routers that have been engineered and strategically placed to provide maximum access of the highest quality to our first floor space and also the basement. Even internet access in the back yard will see a huge improvement!

We cannot thank Mike and Simply Bits enough for this unbelievable gift. It's a very kind gesture that will greatly expand our abilities to provide STEM education, community and the maker culture to the people of Tucson.
