End of Service for Merit Dial-Up

Merit has announced that dial-up service will end effective June 30, 2007. This includes the end of regular dial-up and 800 Merit Global Service.

University Technology Services encourages faculty and staff that want an Internet connection from home to personally purchase an Internet Service Provider service. Those within range of a cable-modem or DSL provider would be better serviced to upgrade to those services. Those traveling would find better connections with wireless network cards offered by companies such as Sprint or Verizon Wireless.

If you have any questions regarding the end of service announcement or other services that were suggested please contact the UTS Helpdesk at (248) 370-4357 (HELP)
