Why is Penn so staggeringly bad at marketing itself to applicants?

Internet speed is fine. Wifi is fine when you get it. Freshman year my computer didn’t get it in my dorm room (my friend across the hall had the same issue, me on my lenovo and him on his macbook pro) and in random classrooms like Meyerson B1 it can be tough to get. Also, Air Penn Net apparently doesn’t like iPhones because you have to manually reconnect to it after you get your phone out of idle mode.

Having said that, there is nearly 100% wireless coverage on campus (in all buildings and near all buildings anyway) and I’ve never had issues with the speed.
