So it looks like it's the same coverage area as UMR's network....what's the purpose of this?

And Embarq's is supposed to cover campus support, though I only get a very weak signal there.

I've been seeing the embarq trial ssid all semester long but never knew what the hell it was. Was this poorly advertised, or did I just happen to miss the announcement? Knowing about this months ago would have been nice. At least, it would have made Math 303 (Mathematical Modeling) a lot more interesting (Rolla Building ain't got no UMR wifi love).

It wasn't advertised at all, that was on purpose. I think Embarq plans on having a Rolla-wide mesh but they wanted to start with this UMR test first.

What's the speeds? Can I download something faster and better over the silly UMR bandwidth restrictions?

well i got the same results on several servers (including the chicago one) its just low speed, and you don't appear as a "clever" user on torrent network.
