I forgot to mention most of the computers in my school look like they are just completely clogged with dust

I think the desktops are cleaned regularly at my school. Not sure though. I know most of the most ones for the pupils are at least but I dont think the ones that the teachers use are cuz you can see dust floating of them most of the time.

On my school's WiFi I get about 40 Mbps and on Ethernet I get 100 Mbps.

i actually dont, never did, and never really plan to because of this very topic.

 

i was that student that was *allowed* to touch the school infrastructure because they knew i had a clue of how things worked, and how to solve shit.

My school has a gigabit internet connection limited to 20Mb per client, but the infrastructure is so bad that it randomly crashes. It can't handle 150 people.

Well, I have not touched all the servers at our school but I have access to all Server rooms, Admin password for all school computers, the IT's internet etc. I spend most of my day helping them build systems, set up NAS's, install ethernet wiring and AP's, format teachers pc's etc.

then you must understand the horrors of when the school's admin password is "adminadmin" and suddenly someone figures out the main router at 192.168.0.1 is accessible with the password "1234"

 

oh, and students torrenting, ALL of the students torrenting.

Haha, not much chance of that happening while I'm at my desk.

 

If a student even types the word "proxy" I instantly get a notification and then decide to either 1) Report it 2) Ban the student.  I'm so mean...

Yeah, fortunately the school was not dumb enough to put Admin as pasword but something equally as shitty Admin1234, somehow no one has figured it out though. Oh and the router password was 1234

I do indeed.  (IT Technician)

 

Although it doesn't really feel like it right now. School was recently flooded and we are based on a temporary site at the moment.

Laughing my arse off at the kiddies in this thread who are acting they know anything.

 

I know exactly what your doing, I just don't care, it's not my job. I am not your manager. however if you feel like going on pornhub at work? you can expect that usage report is auto forwarded to HR and your manager.

 

Think your HTTPS or Proxy will stop me knowing exactly what your are doing? Yeah, you keep thinking that, that is not how these things work. Deep packet inspection, look it up. Oh you brought your own device? that's nice, you not going to be able to connect that until you install this certificate as a root CA. oh you did? notice how all the web pages are showing "company name" as the certificate issuer? notice how your non-approved proxies fail, notice how I can see exactly wtf your doing?

[Cruorzy]

This Blake guy is really good at this sh!t damn....

 

School wifi is nice if it works correctly and fast for you to do your research, you shouldn't  complain about it because you can't watch your fav game channels.

Then again if the school requires you to watch video's to make some questions, i suspect it to work well enough so i can do that shit.

Else they have to give it as homework, with in mind that not every student has a computer everyday to their use.

 

Even some people who like to do IT and start a education in IT.

And the teacher says "You are doing IT, ofcourse you have a computer then." makes me so mad, it is totally not a valid argument.

 

So back to the school WIFI, it should would properly but not for your bullsh!t.

It should work for the shit that they require you to do to get the papers at the end of the year.

I use a Sophos UTM for this, does the job pretty well.

Just wanted to add.. it's really not that expensive. If you have only ever looked at your own income and bank account, it can seem expensive. But if you look at the business level, it isn't. A single gigabit connection should run you about $5k/m for a business line with an SLA. Once you start getting in to the OC tiers, then yes it starts getting somewhat expensive. The only part that would break the bank is the initial run of fiber to the property, usually it's $1,000 every meter from the nearest node. Will vary on city/state.

 

Verizon even front the bill for the SONET hardware at my last company....
