It was also discovered that 60.7% of the respondents use the overnight Internet service to enable them have enough time to explore the services and resources of the Net; computers/internet response ranked first as a factor which determine the cyber café used for the service, 68.8% of them seek information to supplement their course work during the overnight service but sleep is a constraint faced by most of the clients followed by inability to open some sites/web pages.
