Internet speed can clearly vary based on the number of users consuming the internet at that particular time. 

  • If you are looking to download movies or shows, IIT-G offers DC and DC++ facilities which are like torrents for LAN. Internet speed on most days is above 11MBPS. Downloading speed may vary from 50 KBps to 50 MBps. 
  • YouTube streaming is hassle-free at 1080p even at peak hours. 
  • On working days you will have access to the internet from evening 5 PM to 2 AM and again from 5 AM to 8 AM. This is to ensure that students won't waste time in the hostel and miss out on classes.
  • On holidays and around exam days you will have 24 hours free access to the internet even at hostels. Torrents are strictly not allowed within the campus.

Internet service is available 24/7 in academic complexes, lecture halls, libraries and there are not many restrictions on that as such.
