Hamilton College has a 300 Mbps primary Internet connection and a 10 Mbps secondary internet connection (used only for redundancy) over high speed fiber optic lines provided by Time Warner. The Internet connection at Hamilton is a shared resource and is managed in a fashion to give priority to the academic/administrative mission of the college while providing student connectivity (residence halls and wireless) similar to a residential cable modem service.
