What to do after sending acceptance deposit...

<p>Oh my goodness, I just realized that I mis-read... there's a quota for in-room internet usage too?!? I thought it was just for RedRover (wireless)!</p>

<p>So everytime we access a website, we pay for it. That is so screwed up. I mean we even pay for TV and the phone. How are we expected to do hw and stuff.</p>

<p>@diehldun: Yeah.. I was disappointed when I knew there is a quota for the ResNet.. -sigh- It would have been great if we could get online for unlimited period of time or usage.. Like what I have been doing.. >.< Hahaha.. </p>

<p>@blazinyan300: I know.. I'm so disappointed too.. >.<</p>

<p>OKAY.. I guess I really need to clear things up.. >.< I don't know what is going on with me.. SO THE QUOTA FOR BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTION ARE 10 GB... Sorry for the confusion.. >.<</p>

<p>Here are the sources: ResNet</a> Terms and Conditions and RedRover:</a> Frequently Asked Questions</p>

<p>The only time you will face an issue with going over the usage limit is if you download excessively. When I lived on campus we had a 2GB limit and I only went over once because I downloaded the entire series of 24...and got a whopping 28 cent bill.</p>

<p>If you must download movies, tv shows or music use DC++</p>

<p>So you can't download nor upload stuff. What about watching movies online via your pc?</p>

<p>You can download and upload...just be moderate. I repeat...unless you download excessively or spend hours video chatting, it's very difficult to exceed your limit.</p>

<p>I watched TV and chatted online all the time with my 2GB limit and went over once.</p>

<p>@dewdrop87: When you lived on campus, did you use webcam or IM to chat with others?? I watch a lot of anime (online).. read a lot of manga (online as well).. open a lot of websites.. and browse around.. plus I use webcam a lot too.. So I want to make sure I can still do what I have been doing (well of course I can still do it.. it's just whether I am willing to pay that extra bill or not.. >.<)</p>

<p>Thanks so much. Then it is bearable. I assumed it was the whole semester. Now I assume that the libraries have computers. When you access those, does this usage charge play a role also? And we can print from the library by logging into our accounts. How many pgs can we print a week?</p>

<p>limit is for every month</p>

<p>I used AIM and was signed on 24/7. My friend used a webcam 4 hours a day and ran up a large bill...so be careful there. Browsing around the internet isn't going to use up your allotment. I believe you can monitor your usage...so just be responsible.</p>

<p>I was assuming it was for the whole semester too..!! Cool.. :) Thanks dewdrop87.. Um, one more question.. Do you think it's better if we subscribe both or just one of them? Which one did you choose?</p>

<p>I don't quite understand your question...what do you want to subscribe to?</p>

<p>I don't believe your usage at the library counts against your 10GB limit. You can print via net-print. There is no limit but there is a per page charge and it costs more to print in color. If you plan to print or copy on campus it would be to your advantage to purchase a vendacard...you load money onto it and it acts as a debit card.</p>

<p>the ResNet or RedRover.. Is it better if we subscribe both or just one of them?</p>

<p>ResNet (ethernet) and RedRover (wi-fi) are through the same people so you can bet both not just one or the other. So if an ethernet connection is faster it comes out of the same 10Gb/mo that Wi-fi access comes from. So if you have a laptop with wireless card (or other wi-fi device) get both so you can either use wi-fi or ethernet.</p>

<p>Ohhhhh. </p>

<p>Well...you have to subscribe to ResNet if you plan to use the internet jack in your dorm room. I also subscribed to RedRover b/c I had my laptop on campus all the time.</p>

<p>Okay.. :) Thank you so much nickbuddy and dewdrop87 :)</p>

<p>Wait so we don't get free printing. We need to pay to print stuff out. Then isn't it better to have our own printer?</p>

<p>Yup.. I think so.. Some people said in previous posts about having laser printer or all in one printer.. :)</p>

<p>Most students do have their own printer. On campus printing is just for convenience or for those who choose to not have a printer.</p>
