All ATSU student housing apartments are connected to the school's Local Area Network.

Although the connection does have some functionality limitations due to the ATSU firewall, the service provides students with significantly better speed than available with a traditional modem connection. Unlike the monthly fees associated with dial-up Internet Services (ISPs), the LAN connection from student housing is included with a student housing contract.
