Have you pissed off the people in Networking?

EDIT: People in IS&T Networking have been known to enjoy slowing user's connection speeds down...

LMAO!
I really hope not. I just relocated to another of our sites and my accounts and all have recently been updated. I still need to move documents from a server at the old location to here. Moving 3 Gig of stuff on 9kbit just takes a long long time. Hopefully the net will improve during the day.

I worked somewhere where they had a 256K ISDN connection shared between 192 people. On average our throughput was .8-1.4K----good enough for text based email, and maybe a web page here and there. They also had 212 PC's and servers on a 10MB *HUB* network. Man...you couldn't get ANYTHING done there. This was at a MAJOR worldwide autoparts manufacturer too (*cough*now don't bother me 'cause it's lunch time and I'm "Eaton" *cough*). The day they got a T1 installed (the data center was so far away SBC had to actually run cable to the office----cost $37000), there was much rejoicing.


Then the next month everyone got word that the data center was closing LOL. Must be nice to have money to burn like that.
 
Find the user running kazaa, bittorrent or whatever they use for filesharing these days and b*tchslap them.
I had one place that I was doing consulting for a couple of years ago that this happened. They were complaining their internet connection was crawling. Turns out some idiot was running Kazaa. After telling the owner, the employee came in the next day to find Kazaa gone, all their downloads gone, and a warning not to do it again.

LOL. Very similar to what I experienced when I first came to the company I work for. Finally, after about two and half years of suffering, we moved to the equivelant of a T1 and it's been like upgrading from a Ford Fiesta to a Ferrari!
 
This is why I like my work's filtering system. If there's something they don't want me doing the filter won't let me do it. I don't try to get around it so I never have to worry about POing any of the Network Admins.
