Is it just me, or is it really deteriorating as the term progresses?

Just 1 month ago, I was getting bearable speeds in MDCL and Thode, two of the very few places with bearable internet speeds. For the last 2 weeks, both has been much worse, and sometimes my ping just plummets to around 800ms for about 10 minutes thereabouts. What the **** are we paying for?

More people use the library closer to exams. i go to the library all the time thoughout the year, and the closer it is to april, the harder it has been to get a spot.

more people = crappier connection

Nah, it wasn't Waterloo, but it was in Ontario.

But since someone else asked about wifi, I get about 15mbps with a 15ms ping to Seattle from wifi in res on Speakeasy.
