Quite funny that they claim it's "high-speed" broadband when 1Mbit is considered dial-up by most of the country, let alone Uni standards :D

You've got to be kidding me, right? 1Mbit for a university is pisspoor to be quite honest :( Although presumably that's because of contention and whatnot? A connection to the Internet similar to a domestic broadband service. The speed of the connection is up to 1024/256 Kbps (Download/Upload) shared...

That's the basic gist of it, yes :P More after reading the somewhat draconian "Fair Use Policy" (fair use my arse) i figured it might be a good plan to do some googling :) Basically to see what protocols you can use to get round them.. rapidshare looks promising (provided that's not blocke...

Ah, ok, i was wondering about that one - makes sense now :P

Yeah, obviously you don't want to be arousing that kind of suspicion :P

Where do they draw the line though? I mean if you're buying movies from iTunes are they likely to kick you?

Yep no problem, i just want to be clear on what the current situation is first - be prepared eh? Just one general question though, if it's all internal, how do you connect to off-campus accomodation? I was thinking about joining the network now since i've easily got 10 gigs of stuff to share around,...

Ouch.. that's nearly half your term time!

Are you still allowed to use on-campus facilities (so just not in your room) or is it a blanket ban?

Mac isn't entirely necessary due to the addition of bootcamp, so i'm free to run it via XP or Vista. But thanks for the info, i guess the easiest way would be to wait and see what the situation is like a few weeks in and how they're dealing with it. You mention an overhaul? Any idea what that's like...

What's the current situation regarding ITS and ResNet, etc?

I'm holding a conditional offer for next year, and i figured it would be a good idea to do a bit of background research about what's going on with the traffic shaping and so on. And of course there's the AUP that is good and vague :) Since all the common sharing methods are going to be obviously be ...
