Efficient broadband Internet access is required for optimal productivity in smart campuses. Besides access to broadband Internet, delivery of high speed and good Quality of Service (QoS) are pivotal to achieving a sustainable development in the area of education. In this data article, trends and patterns of the speed of broadband Internet provided in a Nigerian private university campus are largely explored. Data transmission speed and data reception speed were monitored and recorded on daily basis at Covenant University, Nigeria for a period of twelve months (January–December, 2017). The continuous data collection and logging were performed at the Network Operating Center (NOC) of the university using SolarWinds Orion software. Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses, Probability Density Functions (PDFs), Cumulative Distribution Functions (CDFs), Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test, and multiple comparison post-hoc test are performed using MATLAB 2016a. Extensive statistical visualizations of the results obtained are presented in tables, graphs, and plots. Availability of these data will help network administrators to determine optimal network latency towards efficient deployment of high-speed broadband communication networks in smart campuses.
