Provide cable access, and set up a wireless router, so everyone can access the internet wirelessly.

Provide them with wireless broadband that the whole household can access but don’t include an in the wall telephone. You could screw a cover over the telephone sockets so that they can’t plug a landline into the sockets and it is just the internet that is supplied through the sockets then.
I’m guessing they will have mobile phones and to make their own calls on.
You coul dlook at offering them mobile broadband but that might not be as useful if there is lots of them all after using broadband
We made sure that the line is there ready to be connected but if the students want to connect it they do it themselves. You usually find the local cable companies have special deals on for students ( I know ours have in Wales) to help them do all this economically. You could provide a wireless router if you want but the you’d be liable for any repairs/misuse. We’ve not had a problem-they’re around £50 and the students have so far always provided their own (between 4 of them it’s not a huge expenditure).

Figure it into their rent or let everyone choose their own access and pay for it themselves.
