What are the benefits of ResNet?
The main benefit of ResNet is your connection speed. The ResNet connection is approximately 200 times faster than a modem connection. It does not require the phone line to connect so you can be using the phone and your computer at the same time. Unlike a modem line, you will not lose connectivity because your network connection will not time out or drop connections. Once your connection is established, you can be on-line when ever your computer is on.
The main benefit of the ResNet service is speed. The ResNet connection is roughly 200 times faster than a modem. It also does not require the phone line to connect so you can be talking on the phone and reading your e-mail at the same time. Unlike a modem line there is no need to worry about getting “kicked off” because when you sign up for ResNet an IP is assigned to you. Once your connection is set up it is available whenever your computer is on.
It’s very fast, always on (if your computer is on), extremely fast, uses no phone lines, is really fast, and it’s free (unless you need an Ethernet card, or live outside the Residence Halls). Find out more on the What is ResNet page. Back to Top If I had the service last year do I need to sign up again?
