In addition, if you have a laptop, we actually switch out the connection to your port in the building to 100 from 1000, so you really are getting the shaft. Plus you have to buy your own PCMCIA card if you need. Plus if you're in a room with multiple users and one port, the whole room shares a 100 UTP/Fiber media converter (fyi, they're not technically transcievers) and a 10/100 UTP switch, so it sucks even more. Naturally, there are more cost effective ways to do this, using a Netgear FS509, but unfortunately due to the lack of planning, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Actually, the new name is ITS, not INS. I'm working on the gigabit project, and FYI something that CNN doesn't seem to say, it's a bloody mess. Very amusing and good pay though, considering I'm a student. So if you have any questions about the project, just reply and i'll try to hit back.
