The current limit is 1 GB during a 24 hour period and 2 GB
during a 72 hour period. You have exceeded these limits repeatedly
which violates established network policy. Steps have been taken to
directly limit your available bandwidth. Your incoming internet traffic
has been limited to 28Kb/sec until 2004-05-17.

You may check your traffic totals at
https://www.rose-hulman.edu/cgi-bin/netuse.pl. Please note that queries
can take upwards of 20 to 30 seconds.

Since internet bandwidth is a shared resource for all of campus, any
user that transfers an excessively large amount of data may be adversely
affecting others using the Internet.

    Yes, typical of most "sevice providers". They would rather punnish you for using too much than working to improve their service.

    it's a school, though. the more bandwidth they get, the more people will use.

    i used to complain about my small liberal arts college's bandwidth, but we have 20 megabit for 1800 students plus faculty and staff. that's a rediculous amount for the number of people.

    i wish someone could design a system that slowed you down according to how much bandwidth overall was open. that way, if it wasn't hurting anyone, you could use 90% of the school's bandwidth, but it would always make sure that there was 10 to 20% of the bandwidth free to keep latency low.
