Campus Bandwidth Improvements

Before Thanksgiving break, Network Services received word that our connection to the internet, hosted by Comcast, had been expanded from 200 Mbps to 1 Gpbs (or 1000 Mbps). This five-fold increase in available bandwidth for the campus is in response to the bandwidth crunch we have been feeling since students appeared on campus at the start of 2016-17 Semester 1.

Traffic shaping protocols for the internet connection have also been removed. You might have noticed that streaming video providers have been working much better since Thanksgiving (as an example).

If you are still noticing issues with the internet being slow, please email Network Services at support@mlc-wels.edu so that we can make certain to take a look and attempt to alleviate that issue for you.

Thank you for your patience, and God’s blessings this Christmas season!
