The StuStaNet is an association in the [Studentenstadt Freimann](https://stusta.de/en/) that operates a computer network connecting the Studentenstadt and the dormitory [Max-Bill-Straße 67](https://max-bill.de/) to the Internet. The network is used by approximately 2,700 users.
In 1996, StuStaNet created its own network infrastructure and operated it until 1999. In November 1999, StuStaNet replaced, jointly with the [Munich student union]((https://www.studentenwerk-muenchen.de/), the aging network piece by piece in order to create a fully switched LAN. In 1997, it was linked up with the Munich scientific network run by [LRZ]((https://www.lrz.de/).

Initially, the Internet connection was a simple 64kBit connection, later a 768kBit connection over SDSL, and since mid-1999 an optical fiber connection. This fiber connection initially operated with 10 MBit/s. In December 2000 this was upgraded to 100 MBit/s, in July 2007 to 1 GBit/s, in December 2012 to a 2 GBit/s, and since June 2017 a 4 GBit/s connection.
