limited uni internet access?

[asterio]

I have just noticed that we have no indication of how much of internet we can use in uni?

emmm... its funny because the internet credits were one of the things that I kept an eye on, but cant find it anywhere in uni.

1GB a week, it's somewhere on the IT website

(if you live in college you get more/can buy usage allowance)

Do the techies monitor what you download/ use the computers for?

[Russ]

Not actively, but with 1GB a week there's not a whole lot you can do

You (obviously) can't pirate stuff but they don't care about online gaming or whatever

Uhh...first result for 'internet quota' on the uni website?

Use uni internet to download legit, superfluous files like new blackberry OS and itunes.
Use home internet gateways to download crucial pirated stuff, like Grey's Anatomy.

[Raahem]

is there somewhere you can see how much quota you've used? i have yet to find it on the website

No, just keep a track of it yourself

Yeah.  1 GB is plenty most of the time.  Just don't watch movies or HD videos and you'll be fine.
