UVI encourages all students to have unlimited at home Internet access for e-mail and research. Students taking distance learning courses, of course, must have at home access to follow the courses at home. Below is a list of providers in order of price for unlimited service and who have toll and surcharge free local telephone numbers. Access plans are summarized here.
Fees listed are per month unless otherwise indicated.
All offer Internet, mail and news services. Only VIAccess has established a direct connection to the UVI network. Such local links will provide faster and more reliable service, remember what happened in Hurricane Georges. In addition, it would benefit both the provider and the university by off loading the expensive backbone links to North America. Information Technology has asked the providers if they would provide such a link.
