What is HornetPLUS?

Hornet is the UK educational premier internet provider. It is 100% operated and owned by The University of Manchester.

Wifi Hotzone owns and maintains the world's largest Wi-Fi Mesh network, with over 400 Hotzones across the UK and beyond.

HornetPLUS broadband is marketed directly to students at the University of Manchester and students will soon be able to order the full service directly from us as they could do with any ISP or cable/satellite provider.

However, HornetPLUS also offers tailored packages for Manchester Student Homes landlords, with features such as bulk ordering, a single bill for multiple properties, installation and cabling services and the ability to split phone line rental from the service.

Students living in many halls of residence are able to use the Hornet service. HornetPLUS is not available in Halls that already receive the Hornet service. Support for the HornetPLUS service is provided through the partnership with Wifi Hotzone and as such it has a distinct support model.
