<p>UCSD is not out hunting for torrenters. But if they get a letter from some company about copyright infringement from a certain IP, you can bet that the university will fork over the information instead of fighting it. Keep in mind that if you’re using a residential connection, you’re going to have a static IP each time you plug in, so you have no excuses.</p>
<p>What ISP are they using at UCSD? I know UC Santa Barbara uses Cox.</p>
<p>I think colleges connect to the internet directly. ISP is for residential and small business customers.</p>
<p>I found out something interesting, each college seems to get different ethernet speeds. I wonder if it’s the difference between cat5, 5e, 6 cables. I have 3 friends from revelle who got 40ish, ERC seems to be around 100ish, and I get 250ish at Muir. Any one else who get results similar to this?</p>
<p>I seriously doubt it’s the cables. Even with the old Cat5 spec, you should still get 100Mbps throughput. It’s likely the traffic at individual campus. A large campus like UCSD probably has several different internet links routed all over the campus and then different router types (both wireless and wired) sending out signal. I doubt they’d throw out hundeds of the old 10/100 and wireless G-type routers just because gigabit and wireless draft N have come along.</p>
<p>Even 40Mbps is smoking fast (a 5GB dvd image in 15 minutes is pretty impressive). Unless you have FIOS or a T3+ type connection at home, you’re seeing speeds at least 4x faster than what even the highest-end residential connections from Verizon/AT&T, etc. offer, which is about 10Mbps.</p>
<p>I have downloaded at 10mbps before. Wireless depends on where you go,m but in all the lecture halls, its very solid.</p>
<p>Using an ethernet cable at ERC, I usually get up to 5 MB/s on megaupload… I was downloading the Windows 7 RC1 from the Microsoft webpage and I got the following…
