WTF Bandwidth cap?

[djikstra]

I'm going to the U of U and they just started enforcing a bandwidth cap of 2GB a day. so if you exceed it you just dont get internet... anyone know how to get around this? fucking lame.

move off campus. heh.

thats pretty lame though. 2gb isn't really all that much. Is that just for your dorm room?

Well since downloading music and movies is technically illegal, 2 GB is quite a bit. You can get around this with proxies of course, but 2GB is alot of bandwidth a day if you're just surfing NS.

2Gig is a ton of traffic in a day and I don't blame them for trying to enforce it. Bandwidth costs ridiculous amounts to buy from a service provider where you are over average usage.

Yeah, we had that in dorms in first year, and i got nabbed the first week and lost my access for a week, but then i just started going to the laundry room where there is free wireless.
