- keithpeter 11y agoCurious UK resident Does the College itself get a government/academic feed or do academic institutions have to rely on local commercial providers? UK has janet and UKERNA. https://www.jisc.ac.uk/network https://www.jisc.ac.uk/network http://icannwiki.com/UKERNA http://icannwiki.com/UKERNA To overcome the limitations of our domestic ADSL (6 km from exchange over solid aluminium wire voice circuit) I sometimes run queries over an RDP session to my College PC.
- sevensor 11y agoSomewhere in the middle, I believe. Penn State is big enough that it's basically its own ISP. They're not buying retail internet service from Comcast, but they do pay for bandwidth. Penn State is also an Internet2 node, but that's not what carries most of their traffic.
