Internet @ USYD (1 Viewer)

.. yeah, how does it work?

And before you say 'just google it!' I did just google it but I don't really understand. So you can pay $4.40 per month to have unlimited downloads on dialup speed, right? How fast (slow) actually is dialup? I've never had it so I don't even know.

Otherwise, for broadband, it's a 100MB limit and 3.3c for ever MB over that? I'm sure I read somewhere that the src changed it to unlimited internet downloads, but maybe I was hallucinating because it does seem too good to be true and I can't find it anywhere on the website. At home I have a 5GB limit and I use that up in about 3 days haha... but if I just start using the internet for research and stuff, is 100~500MB ish sufficient per month?

You get 6mb free per day on the wireless network. If you want more it's like 2 cents per MB or some shit, and u gotta have money already on ur prepaid extro account (that's what u use for printing, wireless etc)

Find someone who already has internet access, ask to borrow their laptop and install a keylogger, retrieve their internet login details. Enjoy your free internets.

Repeat for unlimited free internets.

Usually pretty quick, unless you're using your laptop in an area with poor wireless reception

Install FireFox Portable (or Chrome/Opera Portable) on a flash drive.
