Finally Going Wi-Fi

Long long back I had heard a rumor that we would be having wi-fi in our University in sometime. Sometime passed. More time passed. More and the wi-fi never came. Some days earlier we came to know that the Technology Tower and main building were already wi-fi. Yet another rumor.

But we found that the second 'rumor' was true when we saw teachers using internet on their laptops without any wires or modems attached to it. And then we knew that the college has provided the staff with the internet and now it is hardly ever going to be there in our hostels.

After sometime though, through some of my friends who have been to some meetings with pro-chancellor and claim to have an idea of things earlier, I came to know that wi-fi would be coming to the hostels. Though it was difficult to say how long it would take and probably it may not come during this academic year.

But today I saw a friend of mine using wi-fi in the hostel. He had been to the college to get the internet for himself as he needed it for his project and came back with a wi-fi connection which is working irregularly yet as it is being set. So most probably, finally, we are going to have a wi-fi in VIT.

It's working only in some parts of some hostels as it is in a two-week testing period yet but I hope it'll be working in all the hostels soon.

So finally VITians are going to have at least some internet in hostels, and if nothing, now they can proudly tell their friends in other colleges that we too have got a Wi-fi.
