I speak as myself, not as my employer.

With that out of the way, it's my understanding that MSU is connected to the
internet via a fiber ethernet link that peaks out at 500 Megabit/second
full duplex.  I think it's Gigabit ethernet, but it might just be a bunch
of slower lines etherbonded toghether.

This could have been changed when I wasn't looking.
