Overview
Resnet (Residence Hall Network) is an Internet network that brings both wired Ethernet and encrypted wireless connectivity to residence halls on campus at the University of Texas at Austin. This service connects to the campus network, as well as to the Internet. Resnet service is supported by subscriber fees that cover the cost of Internet bandwidth, operating the network and the installation of wireless connectivity in the residence halls.
Features
- Wired and wireless access to the campus network and the Internet from your dorm room
- Four service plans, tiered to match how you use the Internet
- Can be paid for with financial aid and scholarship money if you have pre-registered
Cost
The cost of your Resnet subscription depends on which tier of service you choose and when you subscribe.
Tier 1 Resnet subscriptions will automatically be included in your housing room rate. If you need more bandwidth, you can upgrade your subscription, either during pre-registration or on-site signup. If you want to use financial aid to pay for your upgrade, you will need to pre-register.
Please note that the cost to upgrade your subscription will be the same whether you pre-register or register on-site.
For more information on subscriptions, please refer to the Resnet Subscription Options page.
