<p>Hey, could someone at UVa go to this site:</p>
<p>Speedtest.net</a> - The Global Broadband Speed Test</p>
<p>and report their results? Just curious...</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>UVA internet is pretty fast… I wouldn’t worry about it. I know I did that test during the school year at some point (forget why) and it was in gbps I am pretty sure.</p>
<p>I’m just a bit worried about this page:</p>
<p>[Network</a> Capacity Management in Student Residence Areas](<a href=“ITSWeb Home - UVA ITS”>http://www.itc.virginia.edu/network/dormnetworks.html)</p>
<p>…which contains the following line:</p>
<p>“Each machine has an overall rate limitation of 512kbps (1/3 of a T1 connection) for inbound prioritized traffic, 512kbps for inbound unprioritized traffic.”</p>
<p>That is ridiculous; slower than my cell phone connection and not even fast enough for a YouTube video. Perhaps I’m reading that wrong, or it just hasn’t been updated in a while?</p>
<p>Oh, and in case you’re wondering why I’m concerned about the speed of a college’s Internet connection: yes, I am a geek. :D</p>

<p>The network speed is quite good.</p>
<p>its really fast… i have heard about it</p>
<p>I got 5.2 Mbps connected through VPN from 3000 miles away.</p>
<p>I keep forgetting to do the test on Stacks wired. A bunch of us in there were trading music one night, and plugged in, and it was RIDICULOUSLY fast. Like, transfered an entire song in less than two seconds.</p>
<p>Use Mojo for sharing music</p>
