The Internet in the Academic World

The University has a permanent Internet connection, which connects it to the HEANET

The HEANET connection is a high speed, permanent connection over a leased line, which means that, whilst expensive to maintain, it provides enough bandwidth to cope with a large institution and is relatively reliable.

[Note] Note

Because the connection is funded and provided by government bodies, there are various conditions implied when you connect. Don't forget to read the terms and conditions!
