Yes, but Universities do tend to have massive bandwidth internet connections compared to home users. Even then, you could well have what your ISP claims in a 8 MB connection for example, but is actually touted more correctly as "up to" 8 MB. But in reality, you only ever get that speed at around 3 or 4 in the morning when most people are in bed. Same here at my office on a business broadband line, when it's only near maximum speed at weekends.

On a broadband connection?
