Up until Wednesday morning the entire campus shared our 200Mbit/s internet connection. At around 10am we switched to a new provider ( Global Crossing ) and with that change came a 50Mbit/s bandwidth increase which puts us at 250Mbit/s. For anyone who is curious about our current bandwidth usage, you can check out our graphs any time.
An added bonus of switching providers is that we are now a little bit closer to the internet backbone and as such some of our latency has been reduced. You can see the result of that in ping times. Pings to some parts of the internet have been reduced. If you play fast paced games you will be happy to hear that.
