Apparently, Tufts' Internet connection is the seventh fastest in the nation. Who would've guessed? After spending copious amounts of time in the library during finals, I could have sworn that our Internet was being powered by paraplegic hamsters desperately trying to run on their wheels. Though, to be fair, finals period always puts stress on the network. If anyone remembers the often-missed Tufts Direct Connect, they can attest to our network's lightning-fast upload/download speeds.

So, 30,000 kb/s -- what exactly does this mean for us Jumbos? Basically, just revel in the fact that it takes your friends at other schools seconds longer to download that new Miley Cyrus mp3. And, in the end, isn't that what it's really all about?
