Sheffield based ISP Ask4 has been chosen by Leicester's De Montfort University to provide its student halls of residence with a new broadband network. The company's package includes a 2Mbps service with an upgrade capacity of 10Mbps, high speed packages up to 50Mbps, instant broadband and no download limits:


Ask4 currently provides over 3,000 outlets to privately owned student accommodation in Leicester and will now supply a total of 454 beds at Bede Hall and New Wharf Hall with super-fast Internet and Internet TV (IPTV) services. In the past 12 months alone the company has increased its student client base from 20,000 to 34,000.

The news follows Ask4's installation of one of the country's first 'up to' 50Mbps fibre broadband products for students living at The Pinnacles Sheffield in September.
