Cheapest broadband in Limerick for students

If you’re a student in Limerick - especially around UL and TUS - you may be looking for broadband that is affordable, flexible, and quick to set up.

Since fixed-line broadband providers in Ireland no longer offer short-term or no-contract plans, 4G and 5G mobile broadband is often the most practical option for student accommodation.

Why mobile broadband works well for students:

• No installation or engineer visit: Just plug in the modem and connect.
• Fast setup: Ideal for moving into rental houses or switching rooms.
• Portable: Bring it home for the summer or take it to a new address.
• Flexible options: Often easier to cancel or move than fixed-line plans.
• Strong 4G/5G coverage: Widely available across Limerick City and Castletroy.

When mobile broadband is a good choice

• Shared student houses needing reliable Wi-Fi for streaming, study or gaming.
• Renters without permission for fibre or installation work.
• Temporary or year-to-year accommodation where long contracts aren’t ideal.
• Homes with good 4G/5G signal, especially around university areas.

Fixed broadband for students

Fixed-line broadband (fibre or part-fibre) is still an option in many student areas, but students should be aware:

• 12-month minimum contracts are standard across providers.
• Installation may take longer than mobile broadband.
• Landlord approval may be required for new fibre installations.

For student houses staying in the same rental for a full academic year, a standard fibre plan can still be good value when the cost is shared between multiple housemates.
