Chebucto NewsUpdated: 29 May 2000Record Chebucto Account RenewalsAccount renewals at Chebucto are hitting record highs. 82% of 1999 Chebucto users from this period last year have renewed their accounts, a substantial increase from 67% the year before, itself a record renewal rate. User satisfaction and Chebucto's continuing support for older computer systems are seen as important contributing factors to this success.New account signups are down 7% from the same period last year however. The local introduction of so-called "free" internet services is considered to be a significant factor in this decline.
Chebucto Service Disruption PassedThe planned service interruption to Chebucto due to Dalhousie Facilities Management's repairs to the electrical system passed with little trouble. A rented gas generator supplied enough power for core functionality to Chebucto (web page access and some basic functions), but was unable to power modems for dialing in. Service was fully restored by early Saturday morning.
