Here at MIT, I get a 100mbs dorm connection, NO QUOTA WHATSOEVER, and best of all, it's FREE! (well... technically it's included within tuition).
The speed is amazing... even though I have friends down the hall sharing >1TB of movies, mp3's and anime. If I was at cornell, I would've incurred a few grand in bandwidth charges already;P
So there, if you want a great dorm connection, just go to a university that actually cares about a good link to the outside world, and has the resources to do that ^_^
join them.
Outsourcing tends to benefit the cream of the crop (ie large shareholders, ceo's and other senior management, partners, etc).
Sure, things suck for those less capable individuals who happen to be replaced by cheaper solutions overseas, but for those few hardworking, gifted and lucky people who rise to the top, nothing is as sweet as capitalism.
