Free guide seeks to help student’s make informed decisions and save money
MobileBroadbandSupermarket.co.uk, the online comparison service, has launched a web –based student guide to help students choose the best mobile connectivity to suit their circumstances.
The document is hosted on the MobileBroadbandSupermarket.co.uk site at:- http://mobilebroadbandsupermarket.co.uk/studentguide
The guide is free to everybody - so students can download it, but it’s also being made freely available to webmasters on student sites and forums and editors on student publications.
Andy Gott, the managing director of MobileBroadbandSupermarket.co.uk, said:
“We published this guide to help students avoid some of the pitfalls involved with mobile broadband contracts, such as hidden charges and service performance issues. With so many students now considering mobile broadband as an alternative to land line based broadband, these considerations are becoming more important for students wanting to set up a broadband connection during their time at university.”
“We've timed the publication to coincide with fresher’s weeks up and down the country, as this is the time when many students start to think about how they're going to get connected to the internet.”
Recent research has shown that Pay as you go mobile (PAYG) broadband deals are extremely popularity among undergraduates living on a limited budget. Some reports have suggested pre-paid mobile broadband sales have risen by over 70 per cent
Whilst students are aware of the flexibility of some of these deals, some packages incur hidden charges and performance issues. The PAYG dongle route also offers students an alternative to land lines and arguments about usage and billing with house and flat-mates.
With the launch of the student guide, MobileBroadbandSupermarket.co.uk are seeking to add clarity to the marketplace and help students to avoid the pitfalls.
Andy Gott added: “We want to ensure that students can make an informed decision based on the dongle deals that best meet their requirements, rather than marketing hype.”
The PDF student guide is entirely free to use and redistribute - and it’s less than 160kb (which is smaller than many web pages), so shouldn't cause any problems for webmasters who decide to host it on their sites.
In addition, MobileBroadbandSupermarket.co.uk are happy to advise anybody requiring any technical assistance to upload the guide to their sites.
