I go to duquesne university in Pittsburgh and the network speed here is ridiculously slow, too slow to play wow at all. Is there anyway to increase my internet speed? I have a Acer aspire 6920 laptop

My university blocked all ports so we can't game if we wanted to. That's why I have Cogeco coming to setup my own connection this weekend!

Depends on the security type of your school's network, you might be able to suck the bandwith from people for your favor uing some softwares.. I cant tell which ones but you can search for :)
