Student Accommodation
A fast fibre and managed internet solution for student accommodation
Modern student accommodation is a world apart from the traditional perception of run-down bedsits and cramped dwellings.

Connectivity is key
In common with other multi-tenanted environments, connectivity in purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) is now considered a basic expectation. A UCAS student accommodation survey for 2018/19 highlighted that 70% of students in private PBSA would pay a rental premium for fast WiFi. It also showed that facilities including WiFi are an influence on student’s decision as to where they live with 92% of students valuing good WiFi as important.
