UPenn Bandwidth

<p>any limits? is it fast?</p>

<p>i believe it is a t1 connection about 600 kbps...</p>

<p>Does the campus have wi-fi?</p>

<p>yes, campus has wi-fi</p>

<p>woo.</p>

<p>is it in the dorms?</p>

<p>In some of them, yes. In most of the courtyard rooms of the quad, there is.</p>

<p>even if ur building... many don't*... doesn't have wi-fi, there are a lot of cosis on campus with free wireless...</p>

<p>you can probably bring your own wifi
and the connection is way faster than a t1 - most people have that speed (at least downstream) at home</p>

<p>edit to clarify - a t1 is 1.5 Mbps or 188 kBps both ways</p>

<p>Eh? How could you bring your own wireless network?</p>

<p>Thats what i was asking...</p>

<p>just bring an access point</p>

<p>so what would i need to bring to be connected to the internet there?</p>

<p>router... make sure u put a password on it tho, or ur dorm mates will steal ur bandwidth...</p>

<p>Wha? Why a router? Just a Cat 3 cable wouldn't do the trick?
Maybe i'm not understanding how it works.</p>

<p>u would need an access point, u could use an ethernet cord* which they give you ;) but if you want wireless you need ur own router</p>

<p>Oh, for wireless, but otherwise if you're just in your dorm, you can use an ethernet cord for internet access, correct? OK, just wondering. . . I was getting worried. I NEED my Counter-Strike.</p>

<p>whats a router...?</p>
