Re: [vox] ucsb outlaws win2k and NT 4.0 from its resnet
1) Dorms at UCD are ~$2,000 / quarter.
So that's roughly $650 / month.
Rent with a roommate is roughly $350 / month.
$100 / month for utilities.
So $200 / month for DC food and an Internet connection.
2) $1 setup fee isn't bad, unless they intend to:
A) Rate limit my connection
B) NAT me
C) Filter incoming connections
Then I wouldn't even pay a $1 for it.

BTW, UCSB has awful bandwidth in the dorms (relatively speaking).
80 KB / sec from UCD -> UCSB. A CD every two hours... Ok that's not so bad
:). But on DSL at home I get 150 KB / sec.
