|  Laptop connection speed Is anyone else staying in the dorms? I've got my aviation laptop plugged into the internet through the wall and the 2 computer icon in the bottom right next to the clock says its connected at 100.0 Mbps. But I searched Google for something to test my connection and I am only getting 900 Kbps, which is only .9Mbps. Is anyone else's connection this far off?

| Re: Laptop connection speed The speed which the icon in the tray displays is the theoretical max speed of the connection which would be a function of the ethernet card AND network interface speed. I believe the internet speed at the dorms is pretty slow, that seems pretty accurate (as I remember from the last time I was there). |

   | Re: Laptop connection speed  The actual internet is sloooooww... But the LAN is pretty fast, so if you are doing stuff over the LAN it will be pretty quick... Which hall are you in? |

 . Nah, I did all that last year. This year I was trying to watch the instant netflix movies and it said I had a basic internet connection. Back home we have cable internet so I got used to the high speed connections for everything. I'm staying in Selke this year.
