Arcedium Coffee House Makes Quantum Leap in Internet Speed

     The Arcedium Coffee House increased its Internet speed twelvefold Friday.
     A customer who prefers to work there on his computer rather than at home suggested the idea.  An information technology specialist, he proceeded to donate his services and the services of his team to upgrade the coffeehouse's Internet system; the coffeehouse paid only for new hardware.
     The upgrade was completed Friday afternoon, and the specialist then interviewed customers actively using the Internet, receiving substantial positive feedback.
I was one of those interviewed, and I noticed the speed difference immediately.  Also, I repeated a search that had turned up nothing two days ago, but Friday I immediately found what I was looking for.
     A popular St. Charles coffeehouse is now also a high-speed Internet resource for the community.
