I am thinking about going to RIT, and was wondering if anyone knows about their resnet, ie if speeds are good, if gaming would be okay on it, if incoming ports are blocked, bandwidth limits, etc.

| Every dorm has 2 100mbps connections the connection is beyond a t3, called OC something or other. Everything is unblocked here. You could do anything on the internet you could at home. But watch out, the RIAA and FBI do a yearly round up at RIT and scoop up all the hard core sharers. |

1 edit | Well I am at RIT and the connection is great. There is an OC3 and T3 for the internet and a OC3 for Internet 2. Here is a speed test:
Last Result:
Download Speed: 35730 kbps (4466.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 6046 kbps (755.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
They don't block any ports so anything goes! RIT is near the top of the FBI's and RIAA's list for illegal file sharing so you have to be carefull. I personally know people sued by the RIAA and its suxs.

Heck, I am sure on that campus all you need to do is share and get your files via LAN. Probably terabytes of material there.

Did you do that on the academic side? Over in the dorms and apartments, they give us crappy 70KB/s upload to outside of RIT.
Last year, I talked to Resnet and they tried BSing me. They said it was my computer. I confirmed the appx. 70KB/s cap by going to different dorms using different people's computers. I went back this year and asked to talk to one of their higher-ups and he confirmed they cap us.
He said if there's enough demand, they'll try raising the upload by a few hundred kbps and see how much it affects the network. I think that's BS though... still waiting.
The guy also said we have more than 2 OC3's now.
What I've been seeing lately (outside our 100mbps RIT network) is:
Academic side - 8ms pings to NYC; 50000kbps down/10000 kbps up
Residential side - 15ms pings to NYC; 30000kbps down/500 kbps up
They block port 25, 135, 139 and 445.

| Nope, doesn't slow down. Speed stays the same 24/7. No limit I've been yelled at for but it's capped at about 70KB/s. I download and upload a lot, and no one has said anything. There's people who do tons more than me, and they don't get introuble either.

Rochester, NY | Well you can upload a lot. I think it is 70KB per connection. So with BitComet my friend hit 2MB/s uploading. You can easily upload a couple TB a month.

I'm told they have two OC-3's to the internet, an OC-12 to Internet2/Abilene, and an OC-12 to NYSERnet. You should be uncapped on the I2 side of things even in Resnet, ports should be open to the I2 blocks as well.
Lots of p2p applications run over I2, just use it to connect to the other schools and fetch what you need.
