ResNet Newsletter 5: new student email proposal, choose an ISP, watch the World Cup on ResNet
A new email service for Bristol students - have your say (previous) :: Major expansion of ResNet Wireless (next)
It's the last week of the summer term and the vacation beckons. Thanks for using ResNet this year! Whether you are staying or leaving, here's some final info from ResNet and an opportunity to shape a new service from the university.
Have your say on a new email service for Bristol students
The university is looking to create a new email for life service for students and alumni. This would be provided under contract with the university by either Google or Microsoft. We'd like to know what you think about this. Please see http://www.bristolresnet.net/2010/06/16/new-email-service/ for more info and to comment.
Leaving halls? Get broadband in private accommodation
If you're moving into private accommodation next year you'll want to sort out an Internet connection. Unfortunately you can't get ResNet, but we have a guide to help you choose a broadband provider - see http://www.bristol.ac.uk/is/computing/advice/homeusers/broadband/
Staying for the summer? Watch the World Cup on ResNet with Freewire TV
With Freewire you can watch 25 channels of live TV including BBC1 and ITV1 on your computer on ResNet. Freewire doesn't count towards your ResNet usage allowance. See
