The new wireless connection covers:
- Lister conference rooms
- Lister decking
- The bar
- The front of the main building including the teachers rooms in accommodation blocks (Britannia, Endeavour, etc)
- The jetty's ( great news if you use our marina facilities
- A new boosted Victory accommodation block connection
Changes to the UKSA student internet access:
Apart from the PC's in the cyber cafe which will remain a free connection, all other internet connections will be chargeable including the cyber café wireless. By charging for the service we will be able to offer a much broader wireless coverage and give users a significant boost in connection speeds which prior to this development have been very slow during peak use periods.
Q. What does this mean
A. Anyone in range of UKSA can connect and get an internet connection from UKSA.
Q. Can people connect for free?
A. Apart from using the existing PC's in the Cyber Cafe, No. All internet connection for students and visitors will be chargeable - both wireless and wired connections. Including existing Wired and Wireless Victory and Lister accommodation connections. Every free connection given out will cost UKSA £6 for credit charges - so we want to avoid this where possible.

The internet connection prices will be -

Up to 1 month - £10.00
(As a comparison BT Openzone wireless would cost £29.00 for a month’s use).
If you are only here for a week, we would recommend the "Up to 1 month" option - for £10 – to cover the week.
Connection time will be available to buy online - once a connection is purchased it can be used on 1 computer wherever a connection exists on site.
