Questions Asked By Students

How do I get student discounts on utilities?
Most utility providers will offer discounts based on household incomes, which can help students lower their utility bills assuming they meet the requirements. To see if you qualify, please call your local utility provider and ask if they offer any discounts for low-income households. Many of our students have seen their utility bills reduced up to 20% off every month!
Do I need renter's insurance for my new apartment?
Many apartment managers/landlords require new tenants to have renters insurance prior to moving in. The best way to find out is asking the manager or person handling your paperwork if it's a necessity to move in. We do, however, recommend all tenants get renters insurance because of its coverage and typically low cost. Renters insurance will cover all personal belongings that are in risk of damage due to theft, fire, flood etc. up to their liability limit. This also includes any other damages to other tenants (for example, a flooded tub seeping into the apartment below) up to the liability limit.
What services do I need to get me by?
The services you need for school really depends on you. If you're taking online classes, an Internet connection at home is most likely going to be a necessity, and if you're the type that loves watching TV, a cable or satellite TV connection is going to be something you'll want. The best way to find out is to ask yourself what you want and then contact one of our customer happiness representatives to find you the best deals. They may even get you a one-of-a-kind deal on bundled services for both cable TV and Internet!
How do I choose the right internet speed for me?
Choosing the right Internet speed depends on the type of user you are. If you love streaming videos or movies, playing games, browsing the Internet, or just strictly using Internet for classes, there are different types of plans, speeds and bandwidths for every user. The best way to find out which speed works for you is to contact one of our customer happiness representatives at 1-844-311-0510 and let them know which type of internet user you are and they will be more than happy to help you find the right internet speed.
I take online classes. What are the minimum connectivity requirements?
Typically any stable Internet connection with speeds over 1.5 Mbps would work best for online classes. The best way to find out is to call one of our customer happiness representatives at 1-844-311-0510 to see which speeds are available in your area and find the best deal to get you through your online classes.

I'm a foreign student, studying here in the US. Do I need a social security number to order service?

The best way to see which providers will do this is to call one of our customer happiness representatives at 1-844-311-0510.
