Frequently asked questions
What is wireless broadband?
Wireless broadband delivers internet without a standard fixed fibre or copper connection into the property. It is commonly used where fibre is unavailable, unnecessary, or where a wireless option is simply the better fit.

Are there no-contract wireless broadband plans?
Yes. There are currently 17 wireless broadband plans in the live shortlist without a contract.
