Why should I connect to the CUWiN network?
There are many reasons to join the CUWiN network. The most important reason to join the network is to engage in a civic project that seeks to provide broadband Internet access to all residents of Champaign-Urbana. By joining the network, you help us expand access into areas that are currently underserved by DSL or cable providers. In addition to the intangible benefits of joining, there are several services that are soon-to-be available to members of the network, including limited VoIP service, peer-to-peer file sharing, and streaming audio and video. All of these services are available on the community Intranet, making them available only to CUWiN network members.
