<p>What's up with people from UCLA getting 55 mbps and 8 mb/s transfer rates while I'm getting 2 mbps at my dorm at UCI...is something wrong, or does UCLA just get the internet speed with the name recognition xD?</p>

<p>more people on the line the slower it gets. How many people is on your friends line?</p>

<p>also they shape traffic to basically block torrenting</p>

<p>I think this usually happens in the first week of school, it will eventually get faster in the school year.</p>

<p>Dude, this sucks. I’m literally getting like 20 kbps with my downloads here. I really hope this speeds up, cause this is even slower than my internet at home.</p>

<p>Umm, it is 6:40 AM here, I don’t think too many people would be on, and mbps is still the same…hmm…</p>

<p>Well, don’t see any improvements yet…My friend at UCLA getting 26 mb/s transfer rate when downloading a game off steam, and that’s really impressive. It doesn’t matter when I’m using it, too, since it’s the same at 6 AM and 2 PM and 1 AM. Any idea if this is what normal is, or whether it’s going to get faster?</p>

<p>It might be due to the recent email spam that was going about, hopefully once that cools down it’ll be better?</p>

<p><em>Sigh</em> I give up. Looks like internet’s never going to improve…</p>

<p>I think the internet is pretty fast o_o But I don’t play any internet games. However, I used the wireless in the Science Library study room the other day and it was horrible. I ended up packing up and going back to my dorm room >< Looks like I’m bringing the ethernet cable with me next time.</p>
