    I'm living on campus in UCD and I had a houseparty the other night. I stupidly left my laptop turned on and my friends decided to google fairly rotten stuff, "bluewaffle" and the likes. Does this affect me in anyway, cause I read before about the usage policy for the wireless internet is very strict etc. Like should I still get my deposit back and all? As you can tell not use to this carry on!!:confused:

    You won't hear anything over the weekend cos of the bank holiday, but they'll be around monday (with cameras I think) to talk to you about the sites you accessed, happened to a mate of mine earlier in the year.

    I believe strict usage guidelines refers to the fact that you can't download torrents or gamble online

    Does anyone know if there's a download allowance?

    There's no limit limited on download like there is with some internet companies if thats what you mean? But there is a ban on download of certain files. I'm fourth year now, I lived on campus in first year and I miss the 100mbps and ability to download whatever you like!

    Sometimes when I download a lot my speeds get capped to like <300KB/s from that location, but a new MAC address fixes that up pretty quickly ;)

    And they're limited to ~2.5MB/s per IP in the res now btw, not 100mbps.
