Fiber’s predictable performance supports students on video lectures, work-from-home days, and creators uploading big files.

Xfinity’s cable network serves 100% of New Brunswick and 100% of The Landing at Livingston Campus and handles multiple devices at the same time. If you want a quick, renter-friendly setup, 5G home internet uses a simple plug-and-play gateway device that can be set up quickly. T-Mobile Home Internet’s 5G service reaches 70% of The Landing at Livingston Campus and 76% of New Brunswick and can be easier on the budget. Students or short leases may prefer 5G for the quick, portable setup. If you are settling in and want stability, start with fiber where possible or use cable in areas fiber has not reached yet.
