I'm trying to work out how much money has gone to ITS from residences from campus. This is essentially at least £5/week per network port. Can someone work out a simple equation/pseudocode for calculating this based on:

• Time and date
  Number of residences with 30, 39 and 50 week lets
  Holidays, e.g. Christmas holiday

Thanks,

Cocodude

i would do it now but the friggin internet wont let me connect to anyting apart from twofo =)

Arthur Vick: 396 rooms, 30 week lets
Benefactors: 22 single rooms, 24 double rooms (60 people total), 30 week lets
Claycroft: 3x8 = 24 rooms, 39/50 week lets
Cryfield: 286 rooms, 30 week lets
Heronbank: 701 rooms, 39/50 week lets
Hurst: 50x6 = 300 rooms, 39 week lets
Jack Martin: 428 rooms, 30 week lets
Lakeside: 574 rooms, 39/50 week lets
Redfern: 45x5 = 225 rooms, 39 week lets
Rootes: 921 rooms, 30 week lets
Tocil: 574 rooms, 39/50 week lets
Westwood: 460 rooms, 30 week lets
Whitefields: 17x12 = 204 rooms, 30 week lets

I count 2755 people in 30 week places and 2398 in 39/50 week places.

If we treat all 50 week postgraduates as 39 week undergraduates, then we get:

2755*30 + 2398*39 = 176172 total weeks

176172 * £5 = £880,860 per year

thats a lot of money considering the state of the network.. I reckon most of that money doesnt actually go towards the network.. I would be surprised they couldnt keep a decent network running on that budget.. I expect not only do that have a big profit margin, but a lot of the resources are moved elsewhere leaving a very small budget for the network!!

A 2Mbps leased line costs £22k a year, multiply by 40 and its £880k so theres not much budget left.

Where you getting those figures from?

who told u ITS were paying £22k p.a???

tho u're otherwise right in that its 80Mbps so 2 x 40.. but I did ITS give u the figures they pay for the line?? as it differs from contract to contract.. cant just say that kentucky fried chickens HQ in london have that price so lets transfer it.. sorry aint goona work

bedpanmaster strikes again.

lmfao well he is a legend so the should be reconised
Pan is just too cool for us really ......

lol Pan, next time save yourself the bother and write "I'm a retard, please point this out and laugh"

failing that you could jump off a big tower, thers one if France goes by the name Effiel. good luck.

otherwise Big Ben in London is also good.. its slightly closer

or even quicker, goto the top floor and jump out the nearest window.

university house is probably the tallest building on campus.. unless the library is slightly taller.. hmm maybe a window from top floor of the library

I think that's actually been done before by someone
