The Alpha Phi house at Texas has multiple high-speed connections in every room, although I am not sure of the bandwidth. You can also use it anywhere in the house as long of you have your own wireless card.

Excerpt:
Lena "Buster" Quist Homburg '37 was a high school English teacher who encouraged lifelong learning. Buster was active in Alpha Phi most of her life, serving various chapters' House Corporation Boards. In addition, she served in the Austin Area Alpha Phi Mothers' Club and the Membership Committee. She was president of the Houston Area Alpha Phi Alumnae chapter and an International Convention speaker. The Executive Office foyer is named in her honor because of her strong support of the Alpha Phi Foundation.
She was credited with spearheading an effort to help our chapter house go high-tech. She and our sisters from the 30s and 40s raised enough money to make Alpha Phi the first sorority at UT with high-speed network connections. In 2002 she won the Michaelanean Award Winner at Convention for her efforts.
Here are the
Computer/Ethernet Rules, they may help you out:
Omega has adopted the University of Texas' computer policy. You can find it at:
http://www.utexas.edu/cc/policies/trouble.html Please review the computer policy and sign the attached page and return to the VP of Chapter Operations (page basically says - "I have read the House Manual and agree to abide by these rules.")
Since the list serve has received several viruses, we are asking that all members perform virus checks frequently. E-mails and attachments sent to the list serve that contain a virus have a possibility of being sent to the entire chapter. Use common sense and avoid opening e-mails from people you don't know and also don't open attachments in short e-mails that don't really relate to you.
House Girls need to perform a virus scan weekly because we are on the same connection in the House. One option is to begin your virus scan before going to bed, and then you can see if you have any viruses in the morning. Whatever your choice for running the scan is, be sure it is done. It would also be useful to yourselves to keep your computer up-to-date on the various new viruses. Your computer should have a virus protection program already installed. If not, virus detection and removal programs, like McAfee Virus Scan and Norton Antivirus, can be purchased online or at local stores. Please protect your computer, yourself, and Alpha Phi by keeping up-to-date on virus protection.
