my dorm room internet speed is disappointing

[igowerf]

I'm at UCSD and from the dorms, I get about 100K/sec down and 35K/sec up. At home, I got about 150K/sec down and 16K/sec up. My friends at UCSB and UCSC are getting like 500K/sec down and even higher up! GAWD! :frown:

nothing past 50k...so quit whining

Some schools cap their network speed. You got it good compared to some. Use the extra time it takes to download movies to do some homework.

Yeah. I actually spend almost all of my day outside now. College has changed me.

count yourself lucky
i cant even afford dsl ... local ISP is charging them on time based !
i'm only using an old 33.6k modem with a max download speed of 3.7k/sec

lol, fjive. I think I'm going to be back on modem too when I leave the dorms.
