 said that these two features set AWI's ISDN offering apart from those of other ISPs. "The big problem on the internet today is that too many ISPs are overloading their equipment by selling too many accounts for every channel or modem that they have. This results in busy signals all of the time. AWI is limiting its user to channel ratio to 7 users per channel, far below the industry standard of 15 or 20 users to one channel", Amerdorfer said. "This limit is in the contract that we make with our customers, so it becomes a contractual obligation that AWI must meet". In addition to this, AWI has teamed up with Apex Global Information Services See Information Systems.  (http:/www.agis.net) and will locate all of its terminal servers at AGIS facilties. "We will be co-located at AGIS facilities around the nation. This puts us on one of the fastest internet backbones in the country", Amerdorfer said. AGIS operates an internet backbone network at speeds of up to OC-3 (155 megabit per second A megabit per second (abbreviated as Mbit/s, Mbps, or mbps) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000,000 bits per second. Because there are 8 bits in a byte, a transfer speed of 8 megabits per second (8 Mbps) is equivalent to 1,000,000 bytes ).

AWI intends to market its Premium ISDN service to small businesses, home businesses and telecommuters who need faster and more reliable access to the internet. "People who are running business critical applications that require access to be available when they need it cannot tolerate busy signals and slow connections. American WebMasters Premium ISDN Service has been designed with these people in mind", Amerdorfer said.
