POLL - Does your college campus have wireless

[Soapy Bones]

What do you have?

edit

Guess I could add what I have
We have wireless access, but for some unknown reason it is not directly owned by the university and we have to pay 1.95 per month for a dialup service, to get the free wireless on campus.

basically whole campus is wired for wireless. every building has it throughout. the dorms are wired though.

its free

Yes, and it's free for anyone with a student email account, which is also free if you pay your tuition.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Free, but it's not everywhere... libraries and some buildings have it, but not the dorms

(UW-Madison)

 

[dartworth]

it's built into your tuition...nothing is free...

 

[Zenmervolt]

It's free at my alma matter (University of Pittsburgh) if you're student, faculty, or staff (the last requiring that you're staff with a university computing account that works in the labs).

It's all over campus and it's free, but you pay for it somewhere.

 

[Paulson]

It's all over our campus... some 54Mbps and some 11Mbps WAP's...

UNCW has the 802.11g network, and it is everywhere, i could get it in all of my classes, and usually in the large open areas outsite with benchs/seating.

Taking a few classes at PSU. They have wireless ... no seperate charge, but definitely not free!!

 

[Baked]

Nope. The cheap bastards. $22 a month for email acct too.

I'm at UW Oshkosh
(yeah, it blows)

We have it in our commons building and the library, but nowhere else. I have spoken with the IT department (a bunch of idiots), and there are no plans to *ever* expand this.

Thank god I will be at Madison for my grad work in a couple years.

 

[Staples]

Yes and it is free but I have to log on all the time and all the web known ports are blocked.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Well... I think I would consider it free if you can use it when you're not a student. I think any member of the public can come into the libraries at UW-Madison with their laptop and connect to the network....

I don't have a laptop and don't go to the library though, so I may be wrong.

It's free if you are associated with the university somehow... student, teacher, whatever. It's everywhere, I even pick up the signal about 3/4 mile away from campus.

 

[magomago]

yup, altho its just in buildings (And actually between buildings too since the signal goes out). School isn't going to expand it in the park or anything because its just too hard to cover all the area since my campus ihas many trees and other things that cause interference that it isn't worth the cost.

 

[hdeck]

yeah but it's not 1 big wireless network. there are a bunch of diff ones so you have to reconnect/login when you move from building to building. it's "free" in the sense that they find a way to include it in our tuition.

 

[screw3d]

Free in USC, some dead spots here and there but generally awesome

 

[dethman]

i wish we had wireless back when i was in college.

 

[zerocool1]

our library/business buildings use unsecured wireless. The library doesn't cover the entire building. They are talking about putting a secure campus wireless network.

 

[thegimp03]

yes it does, and no, we don't have to pay for it...we just have to login with student ID numbers.

 

[NakaNaka]

Yes, it's technically free, but it's included somewhere in the $41,000 a year.
