Mizzou TigerNet Wired Network Access

Rate change

Networking will offer copper-based Gigabit connectivity as a standard beginning July 1, 2008. At that time, all port charges will cost $13.50/port/month.
TigerNet is the University's high-speed Ethernet computing network that is connected to the Internet. Service is available in most on-campus offices, classrooms, conference rooms, computing sites, residence halls, and some fraternities and sororities.

TigerNet provides the benefits of standardized delivery of network services.
