Let’s just say that there’s enough bandwidth running through the campus network that either your computer or the server you connect to is the bottleneck…and this is only CNS, separate from EECS.

There’s also a connection to Internet2.

“CNS provides data and voice network services to the wall jack for the entire Berkeley campus, approximately 25,000 phones, more than 2,500 servers and 46,000 network connections using 120 routers. The backbone is physically and logically redundant, interconnected by Ethernet links running at 10Gbps. The network is also connected in redundant fashion to the greater Internet (including research and education networks) with more than 6Gbps of total capacity. The connection to the commodity Internet currently runs at more than 300Mbps.” - Network World AWS expands Marketplace to include third-party services | Network World;
