Indeed; we currently go to the University of California, Santa Cruz, when we need a speedy connection. : o )
In 2015, I was getting 96Mbps download from their freely accessible CruzNet campus wireless network.
- thescriptkiddie 10y agoIt's hilarious. They only have 10 Mib/s in the on-campus housing, but if you go to any lecture hall after hours you can get 100 Mib/s or so (synchronous!) over the wifi. Good luck getting anything but dropped packets over that same wifi network when the lecture hall is full, though.
- iokevins 10y agoIt beats the camper park, I guess (?): "The camper park receives no direct Ethernet service. It does have CruzNet service via a wireless access point installed on a light pole. Residents can utilize USB wifi extenders to receive a signal in their residence." http://its.ucsc.edu/resnet/cable-plant.html http://its.ucsc.edu/resnet/cable-plant.html
- kazinator 10y agoThat's Mb or Mbit, not Mib. "mibi", the binary mega, is 1024 * 1024, which is almost never used for data transmission rates given in bits.
- homero 10y agoTor likes mibi
- thescriptkiddie 10y agoI measure my data transmission rates by timing how long it takes to transfer 100 MiB of random noise, so I do end up with mibi rather than mega unless I do extra maths.
- jrowley 10y agoIt sucks so bad I actually made a site a few years ago to acknowledge how terrible it is: http://slugishnet.appspot.com/ http://slugishnet.appspot.com/
- some-guy 10y agoIf you can get access to an office with ethernet you can get 800mbits+. Certainly made use of that my last quarter there.
