funny you should mention this. At my halls, I am limited to just 1Mbit, even though I am on 100Mbit ethernet. I can only transfer Files to computer's in my residence. It goes through a router after that to join upto the badass Uni network. Which I think Is a slow mo Wireless link. Afterall, digging up roads is expensive.
It sucks, because people at different resisdences get about 20-30Mbit. D: It's unfair. I can get those speeds if I log into on Uni's wireless network. But the speeds are very irratic. Probably given the shared wifi Channel. T_T.
It's funny, we were testing that today in the School's foyer. I never knew they would let all their students go that fast. I thought we would all be capped.
speaking of which, I need to do the speed test on a normal Uni network PC and the computer Science labs. Because they are on different networks and are wired up differently. Not every one get's an account to login on the SoC network
. Which is nice. They provide a VPN service which allows me to get around the firewall and let my machine be open to the internet! Obviously, for education purposes only. They take a few precautions which you have to read about and sign another AUP.
Screenies to Follow when I pop into Uni tomorrow.
