Default Sussex University Internet Connection Speed?
 
I was wondering what the Internet connection is like, in terms of speed?

I do a lot of uploading (online backups) so this is especially important to me.

The on campus wireless is fairly average.
The internet in the residences is pretty slow. Do you know where you'll be living?

I'm on campus, and in residences the page load speeds are fine, but downloads and streaming take ages. I think this may be a feature rather than a bug, the techies might have deliberately slowed everything to do with videos and streaming and torrents to lower the amount of bandwidth used.
