BTW Cable/DSL is not FTW. You can't get on i2hub and definitely not most of the campus networks. Furthermore, I had a 10-based router at school once cuz my laptop broke, so I had to bring my desktop. Once both computers were working I noticed my downloads were limited to like 900 KB/sec. Then I realized my router was limiting me =(. Took that out and I was going a full 3 MB/sec. Wewt. You can't get THAT with any Cable/DSL.

Oh and upon typing this up, my wireless (campus connection) died. POS.

Or 5MB/s+ speeds.
FIOS maybe, but DSL/Cable isn't going to come that close. Plus fairly low pings (50's or so, same as home ADSL).
Uni is great.

So you think that before, the service didn't cost you anything? Just what do they teach you at that college? Everything costs money, especially things that are "free".
