[Yr7-10it] Open slather internet

[Jarrod J ROBINSON]

Although this is abit of a different case, our University offers the basic student a quota of 65mb per mnth. This seems to enough for students just completing research and what not but as for Information Technology students they have a higher quota. So depending on the subjects the kids were enrolled in there could be different set quotas. 

Also they provide an accounting system that allows students to top up their quota. The setup they currently use seems to work well but given the fact i live on student residence it is quite ordinary to say the least.

Hi all,
 
sorry if you get this a couple of times.
 
At the moment we have an open slather internet policy and some kids are downloading excessive amounts. We are currently considering limiting monthly downloads to 40 MB. Is this too much? What are the limits at your school? Do you charge students who exceed their limits?
 
Thanks again for help
 
Regards
 
Jim
