UIC is paying its ISP for a measly 14Mbps. UIC has been hitting this
limit more and more frequently since the beginning of September. The
packet-loss rate averages over 2% now, even if you don't count the
recent 30-hour outage, and hits 25% at busy times.
UIC's computer center is an independently operated profit-making
enterprise. It has no incentive to pay for adequate network service.
Maybe the router is being flooded by some easily fixed source of
traffic; the computer center won't even bother investigating.
I am interested in hearing quotes from Chicago ISPs for independently
wiring the math department and providing various levels of network
service. We're at 851 S. Morgan.
