You said, we did – Transforming WiFi and Internet at Keele
At Keele, we listened to what mattered most to you - and fast, reliable internet access was high on the list.
Following student feedback, over the past five years we’ve been working behind the scenes on one of the biggest upgrades in Keele’s history - a complete redesign of our entire network infrastructure through a Network Transformation Project.
The result? Keele’s WiFi and Internet has been ranked in the Top 3 in the UK - based on real and verified student reviews (StudentCrowd University Awards, 2025).
You can now get online faster and more smoothly, with fewer interruptions and better performance overall.
The project:
- replaced every piece of network hardware on campus
- tripled the number of WiFi access points
- upgraded campus links - going from 2Gbps to a massive 50Gbps
- doubled our internet capacity to keep up with demand
- improved your connection experience
This project isn’t just about faster internet - it’s about empowering your learning, your social life, and your university experience. And we’re not stopping here - the Network Transformation Project is laying the foundation for even smarter digital services across campus.
