What's the internet situation with on-campus accommodation?

I'll probably just try the Uni interwebs out when i get there and then see how bad it is for myself. Then if it is really, really bad i'll have to figure something else out.

Sounds like a good idea. Keysurf never gave me any quibble when I cancelled the contract at the end of the year so I think if you didn't get on with it it'd be ok. The net in the MB/library is alright though.

Do you think it's a good idea to go for mobile broadband, or is it ok for general internet use? I'm gonna be peeved if it takes me 10 minutes to get onto wikipedia or some other website that i shouldn't really use for my essays but will anyway.

I think mobile internet is variable, probably not good enough to play games, especially if you need it fast for long periods of time. Keysurf sometimes was fine for just general web browsing, other times was dead slow (peak times) or would just stop/disconnect all together. All the experience I have had with mobile broadband has been fine for general web browsing and occasional streaming, but I doubt very much it could do much more, it simply wasn't designed for game playing or large downloads.

Wasn't it simply a year contract ?

I don't think i constructed my first sentence very well, but you've answered my question anyway, thanks! I don't need it for gaming etc, i just want a decent speed for general use so i don't have to wait hours to find the material i need for assignments and what not.

Thanks again!

I'm getting basic accomodation , I'm really worried about not being able to play my PS3 online. I'm waking up in cold sweats and everything .

No chance

Oh well It'll prolly do me some good whilst all my friends are playing the new modern warfare online

I'm sure you'll survive my friend.

it's all uphill after you go cold turkey I guess

It's not the uni's fault guys, it's Keysurf! The uni have been trying since I started to get out of the contract and change to Bt Open Zone but they can't (at least that's what I heard 2 years ago anyway).

Bloody hell, how long must that contract be? Must be an interesting relationship between the university and Keysurf if there's been disagreement for that long.
