Slightly Dissapointed

As I try to experience Second Life once again, to further my understanding, the schools' wireless internet seems to lack the necessary speed to do so. So what I do gather from this, is that you need a solid connection to the internet to do anything on Second Life, and that Second Life is a major internet hog, which makes sense, much of the data you utilize is streaming from the web. I wish I could actually use it though.
