Eduroam has caused so many issues and emotional distress to every student it has unruly kicked off the wifi right before a major assignment deadline. Signing this petition means that you see our need for decent wifi on this college campus as a major priority so we can excel and pass our classes.

Today, my roommate and I tried to do one last online submission for a major project in our core CS classes. We were unable to get on, and submit our projects for full credit. This has been a reoccurring issue among campus students, and I refuse to sit idly by much longer as we all suffer from not having a strong wifi (or any wifi at all) connection.

If you've been wronged by eduroam as well, please join us and our peaceful petition of the University of Maryland - College Park to abolish eduroam for something that at least worked decently for more students (aka umd-secure). Join us in our fight for better wifi on campus, thank you.

Edit: Hey people, so a lot of people have been giving us slack for disliking eduroam. I have no real issue with this, but the problem isn't that eduroam is bad, it's just bad here. And it feels like nobody is doing anything to fix it. Like, if the issue is that there's a bottle neck for signing into the VPN, then why not try and find a way to divert thing so there isn't a bottle neck at just one part? What I want most is an explanation and what exactly they're doing to fix it. I hear that "it's the same thing as umd-secure" or that it's just bottle necking because of the VPN. But if that's the case, then it seems like either, we shouldn't have these issues, or that they isolated the issue and should be trying to fix it. Eduroam works at other schools, so why does it suck so bad here? We're one of the top schools in the country for technology. So, why do we have all these networking issues? It works for Penn State, so why not Maryland too?
