There were 22 participants who had no idea about the connection speed of
WLANs. 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.
