Our broadband expert says
“Student broadband isn't often found on comparison websites. So if you're starting a new term and you want to find a student broadband deal for your new house, you'll likely have to search directly with different providers.
If you don't find any offers that suit your situation, you could look for 12-month broadband deals. These are usually more widely available across comparison sites like Uswitch, but providers should offer you this option if you ask them directly.”
Student broadband FAQs
Can you cancel a student deal before the contract ends?
Student broadband deals are held to the same rules as normal broadband deals when it comes to cancelling early. If you choose to cancel your contract before the minimum term ends, you'll be expected to pay early exit fees to cover the remaining months of the contract.
This is often the total amount from the monthly payments that are left, but providers sometimes reach a different figure depending on how many months are remaining.
If you have a student broadband package though, you shouldn't need to cancel it early unless you are moving out of your home early. Most student broadband deals last up to one year, i.e. the length of a university year. So it's worth checking when your current deal is due to end to see if it already lines up.
What equipment will I need to install Wi-Fi at my student accommodation?
Almost all Wi-Fi deals come with a router that you’d need to install, if you don’t have your own third-party one already.
Providers will supply them for free as part of your package, but there may be a one-off installation charge depending on the deal you choose. You’ll also need a working phone line for most internet packages, but if you don’t have one already, the cost of this is usually included in the price.
If your accommodation is large or strangely shaped, you should also consider getting an additional router or a signal booster to avoid Wi-Fi dead zones.
Do student discounts exist for internet deals?
There are some, but they don’t seem to last long and are generally available only at the start of the academic year.
Make sure you read the fine print if you sign up for one, since some of these deals might have hidden costs or scheduled price increases later in the contract.
What do I do if I’m not getting the internet speed I agreed to?
If your Wi-Fi service ropes you in with a promise of high speed internet, but then you’re consistently experiencing lags or generally slow internet, simply contact them.
If there’s a problem on their network and they're unable to sort it within 30 days, they’re required to let you cancel the contract without charging any exit fees.
