Usage Meter added to Manage My ResNet (previous) :: Interruption to some services 18th December (next)
View your network usage
We have added a Check my network usage page to Manage My ResNet http://manage.resnet.bristol.ac.uk/ . If you are concerned that your ResNet traffic usage may push you over the ResNet fair usage policy, have a look. It seems very fashionable to have Beta software and Check my network usage certainly is (beta not fashionable) 
. We are in the process of enhancing it but for now it does exactly what it says on the tin.
Discounted laptops for students
Are you thinking of buying a new computer at Christmas? We have selected a range of Toshiba laptops we think are suitable and good value for students. These are available from our supplier at the same discount that the University gets. Most importantly you get a three year warranty with the laptop - this gives you peace of mind if anything goes wrong, and is normally an expensive extra from most suppliers.
