Internet connection in L'Aquila

I guess all of us have already got Danilo Lariviera's message about Internet opportunities in L'Aquila.

In this topic I'd like all of the students to say whether they are going to use Internet in the residence or not.

As for me, I'm very happy and thankful that we were given such a possibility and I think it's quite cheap to pay EUR 4 per month for it.

As far as I understood the overall bandwidth of intenet channel is 20 Mb/s, so since there're 28 of us and I guess most of us will use it, the speed may be a bit low but it hopefully be enough and we won't have to arrange a second line to increase it.
