Welcome to Resnet!
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.
NOTE: The "attwifi" wireless network, which is accessible from campus residence halls during Mooov-In, will be removed from the residence halls on Friday, August 21, 2009. Residents must subscribe to Resnet for wireless service in their dorm rooms.
Features
- Wired and wireless access to the campus network and the Internet from your dorm room
- Three service plans, tiered to match how you use the Internet
- Discounts for individuals who subscribe
- Can be paid for with financial aid, scholarship money, or using What I Owe
Cost
The cost of your Resnet subscription depends on which tier of service you choose and when you subscribe. For the best cost savings, subscribe during pre-registration when you sign up for housing in the spring.
WARNING: If you have already signed up for Resnet through your Housing Contract, DO NOT sign up again using the On-site Signup. Otherwise, you may end up paying for two Resnet accounts.
