    First off, how bad is the connection? Is it disconnecting at random, dropping off? What is the connection speed you're getting? What is the college's connection speed (T1, T3)?

    Inform the person in charge of your dorm. Ask them to see if they can get the IT people to check the lines. See if they can narrow down the problem. It might not be just you, it could be a wider problem.
