Bandwidth Policy

<p>Does Amherst block certain Internet functions, have a bandwidth limit, etc.? Cause I’ve heard of other campuses doing that… and I’m addicted to the Internet and will probably go into withdrawal without it. I know I did in school when they blocked Gamespot. At least Penny Arcade was untouched…</p>

<p>So, anyone know?</p>

<p>They don't block anything, but due to a lot of P2P software running this year, including MyTunes and programs similar... the bandwidth of Amherst was extremely saturated this year. They limit personal use pretty heavily. It was a big problem for me, as I had subscribed to mlb.tv and couldnt stream a 360 kbps video to save my life. Hopefully they invest in a littlle bandwidth boost over the summer, but last year, anything requiring a cable modem and up for a big Pain in the ___ to access</p>
