What should I keep in mind while using the internet at dorm Großhausberg?
1. You have to conform to our „Terms of use“ which you can find on
https://ghb.hs-furtwangen.de/services/terms .
2. If you have problems with the internet, you must use our ticket system at
https://tickets.ghb.hs-furtwangen.de/ . E-Mails or other messages will be ignored.
3. There is a traffic limit at dorm Großhausberg. This limit includes 25 GB Highspeed Internet with no limit of speed, which is accounted per seven days (Always last seven Days are summarized). Afterwards it will be reduced to 16 MBit Down- and Upload with no further limits of data volume.
You can check your current traffic status at
https://ghb.hs-furtwangen.de --> „traffic“ if you are logged in.
What is it about this traffic limit and what does it mean for me?
1. We have to count the data traffic of every resident because of huge demands between Großhausberg and Furtwangen University during peak time.
2. The traffic limit includes 25 GB Highspeed Internet per seven days with no Limit of Speed. If a resident exceeds this limit, his speed of the internet access will be reduced to 16 MBit Down- and Upload with no further limit of data volume until his accounted data volume falls under the 25 GB again. But however, if you are ok with 16 MBit you can use as much traffic as you want. But please keep in mind, that when our system reduces your speed there may result higher ping times sometimes.
3. The limit counts for seven days. That means that for every new day the traffic of the last of the seven days is removed.
4. Every resident has to control his own traffic constantly.
5. During the semester there is no possibility to make any exceptions. There are no separate treatments of the traffic regardless of the excuse. If the connection is actually reduced because of traffic exceedance, you can go to Furtwangen University. There is no limit at all.
