Is wireless broadband free @ UTS?? (1 Viewer)

[smallcattle]

is it free of charge?? is there any limitations like download limit?? how many hours you can use etc??

yes.yes-no.unlimited i think?

but seriously.. you gonna sit at uni. 24/7 and use wireless internet?

i don't think we have a download limit.. im pretty sure we don't. but obviously u get the usual restrictions like no chatting, games, downloading off BT and kazaa e.t.c.

chatting is fine on your own computer.. coz at building 10 they have msn on their computers so it shouldn't be a problem anyway...

but yeah... its the games and downloading i think they watch out for... or if they even bother to lol

Yes its free and unlimited, however most P2P ports are blocked obviously, so you will only be able to do normal stuff.

Whoo...sweeeet ...so can't wait to go to UTS and exploit the wireless broadband hee hee hee..nah cool though how you can convieniently access the net with your notebook anywhere, I have a PDA so I can access the net with that also ...just one question, how accessible is the wireless broadband, like where are its areas/boundaries + whats the bandwidth like?

 

[Panda Bear]

its in most of the builings
bandwidth is good
and you can't just exploit it like hell.. you gotta download and setup some security software...
