Why 'Student Plans' Are Often a Trap
Every September, the big telecom giants flood campuses with "exclusive student offers". Be careful. These often come with Term Contracts locking you in for 12 months (bad if you move in April), Promo Pricing that doubles after a year, and Credit Checks that can be a hassle.
oxio does it differently. No contracts (cancel anytime), fair prices that don't expire, and no credit checks needed for most payment methods.
Speed Guide for Roommates
Sharing a house? Here is the cheat sheet for speed:
- •1-2 Students: 75 Mbps is usually plenty for streaming and essays.
- •3-4 Students: Aim for 150 Mbps to 300 Mbps to prevent lag when everyone is on Zoom.
- •Gamer House: If you have 4+ people gaming and 4K streaming, go for 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps (Gigabit).
Remember: With oxio, the eero 6 router is included, which handles many devices much better than old provider gateways.
