<p>Anyone else getting really slow internet in the dorms(as compared to last year)? I use the ethernet but it's still super slow... perhaps the university is trying to cheap down on its expenditures...</p>
<p>Wouldn’t be surprised. Here are my speed runs:</p>

<p>That’s about a 10-20 Mb/s difference from last year. Albeit a different building… But housing’s not above it. Noticed how they raised the price of laundry a quarter and reduced the minutes you get on the dryer?</p>

<p>^ DAaaaaang. New machine? (Then again, mine was kinda new last year too…) Ethernet or wifi?</p>

<p>In Vista - much better than Courtside. It does seem to be choppy though, but I assumed my computer was somewhat to blame</p>

<p>^ Seriously? (My comp’s no where near yours.) What floor were you on?</p>
<p>Network speed has nothing to do with the computer lol.</p>
<p>Doesn’t it? Like if your CPU’s kinda slow or something? Like I once had an old machine, it was sooooo slow downloading. Once I got a new one, it was really fast.</p>
<p>Ah, your ethernet controller on the motherboard was probably just really outdated.</p>

<p>On Oct. 6 in DeNeve Plaza.</p>
<p>^What building do you live in?</p>
<p>
Probably not significantly. You’re internet speed can be bottlenecked by bloatware (most likely), slow HDD, or just like the other guy said, an old ethernet controller. Most newer computers now have gigabit or 100mbit controllers</p>
<p>I don’t know about other buildings, but in Reiber Vista, I (and the rest of my floor, according to a show of hands) have been experience issues with wifi and internet connection. My RA gave us a number to call to report the problem, but I couldn’t get it down…</p>
