We disabled all the b speeds several years ago. Had no complaints then and continue to not have any.

We're at the point that we have to turn off the lower connection rates on our campus. I'm curious what other schools have done and the positive/negative results from the changes. We have disabled 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps in some of our buildings with great success, but some might argue to just eliminate 1 & 2 Mbps rates. Also, I'd be interested to hear from schools that have not disabled these rates and why not. -- Todd M.
