Re: [Coworking] IT questions for people that run coworking spaces

[Jacob Sayles]

This is a very interesting topic for me... as the IT guy for Office
Nomads.  I've found that most spaces I talk to do not have a dedicated IT
person and struggle when things go wrong.  If all you have is your internet
provider, or your 14yo cousin, to ask for help, things get dicey really
fast.  The larger spaces often have the funds for dedicated help and I've
thought about offering some form of "help desk" option for smaller spaces
but haven't worked out the details in a way that is affordable to most
spaces.  If you have ideas I'd love to brainstorm and I'd love to hear how
it's working out for you.

[Coworking] IT questions for people that run coworking spaces

[Jay Smith]

Hello everyone. I'm the IT Manager for a coworking company out of 
California. I'm just curious as to what the average internet connection 
speeds are at most of the coworking spaces in this group. Do you find that 
your speeds could be faster, but you don't really have the option to obtain 
more speed at a decent price? Or are your speeds adequate for your members 
needs?

How many of you have a dedicated IT person working for your company that 
you have full access to during the work day? If you don't, do you have an 
IT service that you call when things start to work improperly?

Our slowest location has a 50/20mbps copper connection,
but our fastest location is a 300/300mbps Fiber connection.
