Bandwidth tiers started in 2005, but you could still download a decent amount of data at high speed. The "new" alternating high-low bandwidth is kindof odd.
Does this also affect on campus(registered to IT) devices, such as those in the CS, EE Labs?
As far as I can tell, it affects users. That is, if you have 2 computers registered with your MST ID and they use a combined 500MB in an hour then all your bandwidth across all your devices gets capped to ~120k/s.
It seems to be per user ID, so I don't know if it'll work that way on campus machines in the CLCs or whatever. Someone should test that.

CLC's are capped, but differently. They are treated as one big system but have their own dedicated portion of the pipe. They cannot exceed that allocation and fair queuing is done across all systems within that allocation. So, if everyone flocks to the CLC's for downloads, guess what happens?
