Halls internet usage

Hey everyone. I'd be really grateful if someone could give me a clear answer to a few questions regarding internet usage in the halls (hopefully starting at the uni in September). Most likely I will be using my own PC

1) Is there a way to play games online through the uni network? I emailed the IT desk and they gave me a roundabout answer that seemed to say no but I want to make sure.

2) What is actually prohibited on the network, aside from illegal things (so torrenting etc) and what is the sort of procedure if I do something they don't like? The rules documents on the website didn't really tell me anything useful and I don't want to get an angry email in the 1st week telling me I'll have to pay for my own internet from now on...

Thanks in advance for answers :smile:
