What is HornetPLUS?

HornetPLUS is the only broadband, TV and phone service specifically created for students and has been created by the University and a company called Freewire (whom you may recognise if you used the TV or phone service in halls).

Broadband

With broadband speeds of up to 16 Mbps*, unlimited downloads (no caps), flexible contract options, HornetPLUS lets you decide what's right for you!

That's not all... Our broadband service comes with access to up to 25 TV channels free of charge and a phone line.

(*) Subject to various factors such as your distance from the local telephone exchange.

Freewire TV

TV

Everyone who subscribes to HornetPLUS gets access to Freewire TV which gives you up to 25 channels like BBC, Channel 4, Virgin1 absolutely free of charge, and delivered in full-screen broadcast quality, straight to your PC or Mac! That's not all you can upgrade to get even more channels like MTV, FX, Setanta.

Don't want to watch TV on your PC? Big new lounge to fill with a giant plasma? No problem! You can order a set top box that plugs into your TV.

Freewire telephone

Telephone

Sharing a house has its perks but also comes with its own challenges. No more arguing over telephone bills with your house mates as HornetPLUS provides each of you with your own pre-paid account to make calls. Remember all calls to other HornetPLUS users are free so you can rabbit all day and night.

Calls to all other numbers, UK and abroad, are exceptionally cheap. Plus you get all the usual features you'd expect such as voicemail and call waiting. Always important when there are four of you sharing a house...and a single phone line!
