How do I connect to the Internet at UConn?
• A high-speed Internet connection is included in the cost of tuition. ResNet is a technology support group, and not the physical UConn network. • All residence hall rooms have Ethernet connections. Some residence hall rooms have only one Ethernet jack so a splitter wired for the UConn campus will be required for the following residence halls North, Hale, Ellsworth, McMahon, Alumni, Buckley, East, West. UConn ITS recommends waiting until move-in & if you need one, see the UConn Co-op. • UConn’s wireless initiative: extends to the academic buildings and not in the residential halls. • Network traffic is monitored for bandwidth usage and copyright violations. The university abides by copyright laws and therefore, illegal downloading of music, games, software, etc could result in an RIAA or MPAA complaint. • Bandwidth is the allotted amount of internet use each student gets which is 7GB for a 7 day period, for most students this is excessive. 7GB is the equivalent of downloading 9-10 CDs
