Students who want a faster broadband service could move to Kent, where BT is installing a system which will offer broadband that is 20 times faster than the average household speed in the UK.
BT will be installing a fibre based network which is much quicker than the current copper based networks used in the UK at the moment.
Steve Robertson, head of BT Openreach, said: "Openreach will provide the basic infrastructure and service providers will have the opportunity to build their own services on the back of it. This is our first deployment of fibre rather than copper to residential customers on a new build site."
He added that the move will give communication providers the chance to "gauge what demand exists for very high speed broadband, and to assess what commercial models may be appropriate in the future".
Speeds should reach up to 100Mbps in the area which is the speeds that counties such as the US, Korea and Japan enjoy.
It will be the first time that broadband this fast has been offered to household users in the UK although some businesses in Britain already enjoy the high speeds.
Meanwhile, Carphone Warehouse and 3 have joined together to offer customers a mobile broadband package for £35 a month.
