Ways to connect to the internet

There are three ways to connect to the internet. Wi-Fi is the fastest and you get unlimited 
Wi-Fi with your ø Mobile Broadband.

You only use up your data allowance when you connect on the ø network.

1.   

ø Mobile Broadband

 – uses the ø mobile network to connect to the internet. 

You can connect anywhere, as long as there’s ø mobile coverage. Check your coverage  
at 

o2.co.uk/mbbcoveragechecker

2.   

Public Wi-Fi hotspots

 – these are wireless networks. You can connect to Wi-Fi 

through The Cloud for no extra charge in places like Pret A Manger and McDonalds. 
Windows users can also connect to BT Openzone for no extra charge. Or you can 
connect to other Wi-Fi hotspots which you might have to pay for. Wi-Fi is faster than 
using the ø network.

3.   

Home Wi-Fi

 – uses your Home Broadband and will give you the fastest speeds. If you’re 

using Windows and your home broadband has a wireless router, Connection Manager 
will manage your connection so you’ll automatically connect to your home broadband 
network when you’re at home.
