student broadband deals 2026

If you’re moving into a student house that already has toob installed, the process is very simple! If you call our friendly team, they’ll establish if the previous tenants left the router, meaning we’ll be able to reconnect your home in a matter of minutes and get you online, or whether we need to send you a router, in which case it’ll take a few days for one to arrive, then plug it in and you’re off!
