Nowadays, having an internet connection is more important than ever. Almost everybody and every entity—  whether a business, company, or agency, has some sort of an online presence, and a stable internet connection plays a vital role in the way we communicate and interact with each other through these online platforms. Instant communication apps, social media applications, and even essential school and work websites all need Wi-Fi in order to be functional. With that, it should come as no surprise just how important Wi-Fi is in our daily lives. 

 

For almost everybody, especially students, having access to Wi-Fi is as necessary as creating and sustaining connections.
