Student Broadband 2013
(This information is probably out of date now, please check the relevant companies for up to date information or wait until the 2014 guide is out.)
It’s that time of year again when all students across the UK are getting ready to return to university. Some students will be living in private accommodation for the first time, and with this comes the responsibility to organise the bills. One of the most important utility bills to have is student broadband. All students will need access to the internet to gain access to their university emails and university documents.
Here at The Student Blogger we know first-hand from our experiences of searching for the right student broadband package. That’s why each year we evaluate all of the available offers for students and give our recommendation.
