- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

eSports at anything above "having a giggle" and WiFi network connectivity are mutually exclusive things.
Having any latency at all makes your lad about as much use as a one legged bloke in an arse kicking competition. He and his team should be on hardwired gigabit fibre, and that he isn't should be seen as embarrassing for his institution.
For what it's worth, I'm a simple home user (in the UK) and I have a gigabit fibre to the transceiver in the cellar, to a basic gigabit switch which routes to patch boxes in every room of my 150 year old house. That I can do that affordably and a supposedly professionally run institution can't handle such is profoundly humiliating.
Perhaps try putting it like that to the powers that be and see how they react? 💛
Same here. He may be spoiled that I have gigabit fiber, Ethernet to every room, and gigabit WiFi. Multi-gig switches are starting to be affordable and claim I should get several gig without even upgrading my existing cat5e ….. soon
So far I’ve let him deal with it - he’s an adult now, technically. But it’s getting to be time to see if I can do any better
