� Types of Internet connection currently used: All the participants were students and WLAN users on campus, thus have wireless connection. 25 participants used broadband and four participants used dial-up. Six participants clearly stated that they had no idea of what types of connection they were currently using and ten participants responded with their ISP details, stating the website they were browsing or application they were using. � Terms and conditions for connecting to WLANs: As can be seen in Figure 4-8, 26 participants had no idea about the terms and conditions for connecting to campus WLANs. 24 participants said there were some terms and conditions and some of them also wrote down some conditions they knew about. But fourteen participants said there were not any terms and conditions at all. No idea 40% Terms and conditions Awareness 53 NO 22% YES 38% Figure 4- 8: Terms and conditions Awareness � Restrictions on connecting to the on-campus WLANs: Fourteen participants thought that there were no restrictions on connecting to campus WLANs and 50 participants thought that there were some restrictions. Fourteen out of 50 participants considered there were several restrictions, such as time, place, undertaking a course and having a
student account. The other 36 participants considered there was only one restriction. Over 83% of those 36 participants agreed that whether the user had a student account was the only restriction for connecting to campus WLANs. Of the total 64 surveys, 30 participants agreed on having a student account. Only four participants considered undertaking a course was the restriction. Time and place had close responses with 13 and 19. Numbers of Participants 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 13 WLANs Connection Restriction 4 a. Time b. Current course you are taking 19 54 30 c. Place d.

Twelve participants wrote down a specific speed, such as 56Kbps (slow), 500Kbps, 48Mbps and 54Mbps (fast). The remaining 29 participants just wrote their feelings about using WLANs on campus, such as very slow, OK and/or fast. One participant, who wrote the lowest speed of 6.5Kbps, thought the connection speed of WLANs was very slow. Fifteen participants felt the connection speed was very slow or just slow. Eight participants were satisfied with the connection speed and seven participants thought it was fast.
