@spwath To answer your question:

No.

 

Not all schools have fast internet. Some do, some don't. It depends on a number of factors, including the budget the school has to work with, how old the school and network infrastructure is, where the school is physically located, what kind of commercial operators are located in the area, etc.

 

When I was in Primary School, the entire school ran off Dial-Up internet. There literally was no broadband capabilities in the entire town.

 

These days, most schools (In Cities at least) will have mid-range FTTN (DOCSIS 3.0 or VDSL) at minimum, with many running on actual Fibre connections.

paying???

[Unique Little Snowflake]

paying???

That's post-secondary for you. There's nothing they don't ping you for if they can.

[Altecice]

Yeah its because your school has a leased line directly from an ISP. You have to remember thought this is for every machine on your schools network. Not just for you

[Kyuubixchidori]

mine is 300 down, 200 up. in the morning when no on is on it. during 5th hour? .2 down 50 up lol

[Oberon.Smite]

I download my sht at school because I have shit internet, 1mb down, 0.5 up

 

FCPS (school district) has 130down when under heavy use, 130 down as well.

 

Pretty sure as long as you don't live in a shitty district or go to a lower end college, you should find speeds at least 100up/down.

[Xaring]

My school had 3Mb/UP 0,7MB/down. T.T In my Uni i have 100/100 now.

[manikyath]

my school has a dedicated gigabit line straight to the ISP's backbone, and their internal network is made up of 100Mbit hubs.

YOU AINT SEEN SHIT

Hold on a second, you're paying $360/year to access school computers? OR do you mean you pay $360 a year for Internet at Residence? Two different things my friend

Res, but the on-campus internet is just as fast. If I'm not mistaken they all share the same line out.

[Tocsin_786]

my school's speed is the a little more than broadband, around 10 down and 7 up. all the lead in the walls also degrades my cell signal to only 1 bar, enough to make a emergency call.

Dude that's actually ridiculously cheap Internet (Though it depends on how long you're at Res for). If you're there for the full year, it's $30 a month. If you're only at res for 8 months (No summer Semester), then it's $45/month. Either way, that's really cheap.

 

... course... 10 down/10 up is pretty shitty, even for those prices.

 

So never mind, I take that back

Your speed is a little more than broadband? what? broadband is anything above 1mbps here in Aus and soon in america 25mbps will be minimum for it to be called broadband, 1gbps is broadband.

yea exactly. right now broadband is something like 4-6 mbps, but since the 25mbps isnt official yet, my schools speeds are still above broadband.
