From what I've heard from friends who studied at MNNIT Allahabad, the college does its best to provide good internet facilities. They try to make sure everyone, especially Linux users, doesn't face internet issues.

Proxy Settings : They use special proxy settings to give you faster internet. Just remember, the college keeps an eye on what you're browsing and might limit your usage.
DC++ : DC++ used to be popular, but these days, with everything streaming online, not many people use it anymore.
Multiple Proxies : There are several proxy settings you can use to surf the internet. One of them has no limits, but it's not allowed in the hostel area.
Evening Slowdown : The internet usually slows down in the evenings, from 7 PM to midnight.
Squid Proxy : The college provides a Squid proxy setting. If you visit a website daily, this setting will help you access it even with a slow connection.

If you're into gaming or need faster internet, here are a few tips:

Ultimately, it depends on how you plan to use the internet. Most students don't bother with these details and stick to the basics.
