Student Telecommunication and Network Services
Syracuse University offers a broad range of telecommunication and network services for students living in residence halls. The services include high-speed Internet services (wired and wireless networks) and cable television services. University costs for providing the services are paid for through the student communications fee of $200 per semester, which is charged to student Bursar accounts.
High-speed Internet services:
ResNET wired network : This service provides a direct network/Internet connection (via an Ethernet cable) in residence hall rooms.
AirOrange wireless network : This service provides a direct network/Internet connection (via wireless access points) in many residence hall rooms. The service is in the process of being expanded to all residence halls and South Campus apartments.
Television services:
Cable Television : Standard service is provided by Time Warner in all SU residential facilities. Students need to bring their own television and coaxial cable. Optional premium services are available through Time Warner Cable at an additional cost. Students can order premium services online or by calling Time Warner at 877-255-4610. Time Warner representatives are also available on campus during Opening Week.
Telephone services:
Cellular phone services: The vast majority of SU students use cellular services for their telephone needs. Cingular (at&t), Verizon Wireless, Nextel, Sprint, and T-Mobile are among the cellular phone carriers that provide service in the Syracuse area. Currently, Cingular offers student discount pricing.
Residence-hall courtesy phones: Courtesy phones are located on every floor in all of the residence halls. The phones can be used to reach emergency services, to dial campus phone numbers (those that begin with 443/442) and for local calls within the Syracuse calling area. The courtesy phones can also be used with calling cards or toll-free numbers to place long-distance calls. Courtesy phones are not available in South Campus apartments.
Telephone subscription services: Students can subscribe to land-line phone service in their residence hall rooms. Students need to bring their own phone. Subscription information available on the Web.
Long-distance telephone services: SU students can use prepaid phone cards or other toll-free options to make long-distance phone calls from residence-hall courtesy phones.
