Swindon Centric Returns - To Free, Town-Wide Internet!


Swindon Borough Council is to provide all 186,000 residents with free, town-wide wireless internet access.

Though there will be a usage limit, which can be overcome by purchasing additional access, at lower prices than current suppliers.

Swindon Centric Says ; This news sounds excellent. For years, it's been suggested that internet access will become a utility as important as water, gas and electricity. Kudos to the council for pursuing this, very brave and forward-thinking service.

People in Highworth better get ready to cancel their current suppliers, as their free service starts in a few weeks.
