How is the internet speed in IIEST Shibpur?

The internet speed of the Wi-Fi is pretty good at the hostels. The LAN connection goes into the Wi-Fi router, which is strategically located in the hostel campus.

• It is a gigabit fiber connection that can give a speed up to 1Gbps if connected as an Ethernet cable.
• The Wi-Fi speed is dependent on the closeness of the room to the Wi-Fi router and the time of the day.
• If your room is closer to the router than in the non-peak hours (after 3 AM in the night till morning and during classes when there are very few students in the hostel) you can expect a speed of 4 Mbps – 5 Mbps (with an 802.11n or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi driver) and a speed of 8 Mbps – 10 Mbps (with an 802.11ac or 5GHz Wi-Fi driver).
• During peak hours when many students are connected simultaneously you can expect an average speed of 2 Mbps – 3 Mbps.

So the Wi-Fi speed you will receive is really good at IIEST Shibpur. Being a student here, I can assure you that internet speed was never a major problem.
