its been my experience that internet here in TJ ALWAYS sucks regardless of time of day or if its a weekend... i dont know for sure why it does, but i like to blame it on P2P being left on all the time.

I may be part of the problem here, but i feel like bitching about a recent download. I downloaded a .iso of 699 mb, and it took about 20 hours to complete the download. When i starting downloading i was getting about 34kb/s. When the file was almost complete i was getting 9kb/s. That is simply unbearable.
Is it just me or was the internet MUCH faster last year? Because this year it sure does suck. I rarley download anythign of size (this .iso was the first this year) that dosen't come off the campus network.
i just did a cnet bandwidth test, and it came back with 52.4 kbps. HAHAHAH totally suck! this fucking blows!
this is with a movie downloading from uselessjunk.com (@ 2.3 kbps) and a song downloading off DC++ (@ 4.36 kbps), which shouldn't affect the speed that greatly. there aren't anyone accessing shared files on my comptuer right now, so i don't really see any excuse why it's going so slow
has anyone attempted to contact UMRIT about this? i think it's pretty weak. i get way faster internet at home with my folks' DSL
OH YEAH i forgot to mention uploads on i2hub-- 1 @ 50 BYTES per second, one at 115 BYTES per second, and one at 7 kbps

This is supposed to be a engineering school, they need to keep up with the times and boost the internet speeds like every other isp is doing. Probably should even upgrade the network to gigabit within a few years even.
I bet the campus computers still get 1MB/s speeds while the dorms have just one of those lines spread across.
