Columnist Clare Palo asks readers to fill out a survey about the areas on campus with the worst Wi-Fi connections.
Ohio University’s Wi-Fi has had its woes this year, to say the least. If we rewind back to the OU Wi-Fi Plague of August 2015 (by the way, the real plague is back), we can reminisce on some deadly times — specifically some deadly Wi-Fi times.
Rather than asking you loyal readers to tweet me your worst Wi-Fi dead zones on campus, because Ohio University Office of Information Technology (OIT) already deals with enough of that on a daily basis, I’m asking you to take a short survey that is embedded in this article. The results will be posted in a later Technobabble column.
What inspired this survey?
I’ll be honest— 50 percent personal curiosity, but most importantly 50 percent a possible solution to our Wi-Fi problem areas. OIT has mentioned that they regularly track the dead zones and hotspots on campus in an attempt to fix the connection problems when outages occur. I would like to hear from students personally, in an effort to help solve the issue with user generated feedback and to avoid those bad connection areas (just kidding… maybe).
