Internet at University
The National Student Housing Survey has today reported that the 15,490 respondents to their survey now rank access to the Internet as the most important factor when choosing University accommodation. Jonathan Hudson, ASK4 Chairman commented:
“We have for some time known how important the internet is when choosing University accommodation, indeed our own research indicated that this was the most important factor almost 2 years ago and we are of course delighted that a larger survey has now backed up our thoughts. We also believe that it is no coincidence that the ‘Best Private Halls Provider’ category has been won for the past 3 years by companies that choose ASK4 as their ISP (Victoria Hall Limited 2011, Liberty Living 2010 & Opal Property Group 2009).”
ASK4 have always recognised that a fast, reliable internet connection is vital for busy, modern students and so deliver 100Mb fibre optic broadband to the best student accommodation across the UK.
