Re:Where's the problem here? (Score 1)

Let me try to shed some light (as a UTD grad). The access from the school is REALLY poor. Horrible in fact. Until a few years (2) the only option they has was dialup, the wouldn't even provide Ethernet. The reason for all this is a REALLY bad deal, where the only housing on campus is privatly owned apartments. They are run by a private company, have no offical relationship to the school, but only place you can live / using your housing scholarship etc is Waterview. Now Waterview didnt want UTD putting up cat5 in their bulding, hence no access. Then they hatched this scheme for wireless. It's REALLY poor QoS, plus many of the students work in the surrounding Telcom area, where you have to VPN in etc, things you can't do over the campus connection. It's a nice plus when you want quick access to the Solaris cluster, or libary, but not much else. Students have been setting up their own stuff for years. Keep in mind UTD is mostly EE and CS folks.
