Telephones and Internet
All rooms in residences are connected to the UEA computer network, which means that if you have a PC or laptop, you can have a broadband-style connection to the internet from your room. Your room will have a double socket with two connections, ‘Data’ and ‘Voice’. The ‘Data’ socket is for connecting a computer to the network via Ethernet. The ‘Voice’ socket is live if you wish to have a BT line installed at your expense. In some rooms, it is also possible to have a ‘Dog n Bone’ telephone line, which is connected over the UEA network.

Emergency phones and pay phones
All residents have access to an emergency phone which connects directly to Security Services when you pick up the handset, plus there are payphones in most residences. Emergency phones and payphones are usually located in lobbies, entrance halls and common rooms.
