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.

Wtf? You're at Sussex Uni? Wern't you the guy who was at Strode last year?

What? Yeah, I am, and I was. Who are you?

Hahaha, awesome. Same here
What are you studying/where are you living?

Psych, I'm in york. Are you an ex strodie?

Yeah
East Slope for life though
It's odd to think I could see you in 2 minutes and will probably recognise you. Damn TSR!

Not to be too geeky about this but...

I thought they'd block the ports for torrenting on campuses?

If not then i'm happier.~I'd rather slow torrents than no torrents anyday...
Stupid all good tv shows being shown in America...

Torrenting is okay, its faster in the morning

Having played round with torrents at uni for about a term ive kinda figured the only way to torrent and not get throttled is to set your max connections to 25, any more and they will block you for about half a hour
