Exactly.

And I'm not sure how much of a development this is. Everyone in the dorms pretty much thinks it sucks. It would have been a lot nicer if we had a choice, since NETstar is about as bad as it gets.

I am not sure if there have been any recent changes with Netstar, but it used to be that their system was only copatable with a certain type of wireless router.

That's pretty much it. When it rains a lot of things would go out, like the internet, electricity, then water.
