Can I get cable modem (RoadRunner) or DSL service instead of ResNet?
In most cases, no. Some graduate residences may have existing coaxial cable infrastructure (for cable TV), which will allow them to subscribe for cable modem service at their discretion. Fraternities, sororities, and co-ops, particularly those which are privately-owned, may also have existing cable TV or non-Cornell phone service which could support cable modem or DSL. If you wish to find out if your particular residence has or can support such service, check with the university facilities manager for that residence, or your building manager (or equivalent) for privately-owned Greek houses or co-ops. Use of the ResNet wiring infrastructure to provide outside service from another service provider in Cornell-owned buildings is not normally permitted.
