The student accommodation sector has been heavily praised for its role during the pandemic, and rightly so. The latest UCAS report (2021) showcased purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) front line employees have operated with student well being at the forefront of their mind throughout the past 15 months.

However moving forwards, as a PBSA and houses of multiple occupant (HMO) decision maker – you know you need to up your game even further to capture the next round of students in the upcoming academic year.

With that said, fast and reliable Internet connectivity was rated the most important feature of a PBSA/HMO when paying for a rental premium as a student (UCAS, 2021).

At Gigabit Networks, we are on a mission to bridge the digital divide in the student accommodation sector across the UK, primarily in the Midlands.

We interviewed 959 students around the UK – primarily in the Midlands – around their perspective on Internet access in PBSA’s and HMO’s throughout their time at University.
