Students on the TU Delft campus living, are in opposition come against the plans to the internet quite a retrenchment of employee. The new provider, Ziggo, would be more expensive and significantly slower internet provide.
The TU Delft wants from bezuinigingsoverwegingen the current internet customize. Currently, approximately thirteen thousand students on the campus of the TU Delft in each dorm room on a SURFnet connection of 100Mbps and a private external ipv4 address, while between the studentencomplexen and the internet connection of the TU Delft 1Gbps-glasvezellijnen. For these services pay the students depending on the location maximum of 10 euro per month or even less, with only an upload limit of 50GB applies.
To reduce the cost, is huurorganisatie DUWO in the past few years, went looking for a party that has the internet connections to students cheap could offer to your current provider, SURFnet. The TU Delft stated, however, the condition that this would only be able to if the service of the new party is similar.
Meanwhile, DUWO, a party found that the service should adopt the Ziggo. A decisive factor would be that Ziggo itself and the billing to the student account wants to take it. The isp, however, according to residents ‘ WijWonen with a significantly worse service for a higher price. So does the speed of internet connection for each house to 20Mbps symmetric and because all the students are behind a nat-router to be placed there for all the residents of only 110 external ip addresses available.
By the greatly reduced number of ip addresses to threaten the applications like Skype not to function properly and problems can arise if certain ip addresses through web sites will be blocked. Also, in the new design no longer possible to have an internal network, so students are afraid that the turning of internal forums and thuisservers no longer will be possible.
The students have even more complaints about the offer of Ziggo and DUWO. So rises the price to 12.50 euro per month, whereby the student is automatically also a tv subscription of Ziggo should decrease. Also like the TU Delft, the host of various studentensites strike and the helpdesk is limited. Finally, there are complaints about ITT Desk, the company that the connectors should take care. Students who live in the Laakhaventoren in The Hague would already be complaints rain about the services of ITT Desk.
According to WijWonen would DUWO in silence and without the approval of the resident’s organisation already had a contract with Ziggo, and the room for manoeuvre for improvements is therefore limited. Board maintain has now decided to establish a commission that decides on the matter to consider. The commission should consider DUWO possibly legally could be forced to look to other parties with a better offer. Another possibility is, according to the board maintain that Ziggo with a better proposal, but the residents ‘ eight, the chance of this small. Meanwhile, the board maintain an urgent letter in the direction of DUWO sent.
DUWO wants in a response to Tweakers.net not confirm whether or not there is already a contract with Ziggo, is to be drawn, and it will continue to not matter to go in. However, let the huurorganisatie know that there is still consultation going on with the students and that they are with new proposals. A student of the TU Delft reports, however, Tweakers.net that Ziggo at a number of properties concerned with the construction of cables.
Update 17:30: Number of affected students will be adjusted.
Update 31/10 13:45: WijWonen has on its website more information about the question posted.
