Disney college program internet

Hi, I was just accepted into the WDW CP for fall advantage and was wondering about how restrictive the internet in the housing is? I don't really like the idea of my net being monitored/blocked, is it as restrictive as disney makes it seem?

Also if anyone knows if I can get an outside cable company to put internet in that would be awesome as well.

Treat the internet there as if you were on a computer at you grandmother's house. If its something you wouldn't look at there, just don't do it. I never heard of anyone being terminated for internet violations, but you never know who is watching. It's 2013, anything you do online is being monitored

Also if anyone knows if I can get an outside cable company to put internet in that would be awesome as well.

That's not going to happen, the internet is slow, intentionally. When I lived there in 2010, you could go to the housing office and for a fee like $75 for 3 months (about $12.50 each for an apartment of 6), they would increase your bandwidth which is ideal if you play games online or have a Netflix/Hulu Account.

Don't look at anything illegal, don't download anything illegally, and don't cyberbully anyone and I think you'll be okay.

To be honest, if you have a 4g capable phone and can use your phone to create a wifi hotspot that would be faster than using the housing internet.

Unfortunately, bandwith caps severely limit that.

Does anyone have a clue of how fast the internet is if you opt to pay for the upgrade?

Sadly no, but when my roommates and I upgraded, I could watch Netflix in one room, my roommate was playing XBOX in the other, we never noticed slow speed.
