The Engineer 614 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Free Wi-fi in pubs, cafes, Costa, Starbucks, on buses, in the Vic centre and Broad Marsh, at Butlins, in hotels, in libraries, the list goes on; pretty much everywhere in the public domain EXCEPT if you're laid up in QMC or City, it's another costly overhead to rub salt into the car parking wounds. To quote their website: We've teamed up with WiFi SPARK to provide you with a way to access the internet during your stay using your own laptop or tablet computer. Prices for the pay-as-you-go Wi-Fi service are: £3.20 for three hours £6.00 for one day £12.00 for a week £17.50 for a month £70.00 for six months £125.00 for one year.

LizzieM 9,514 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thanks for that info Engineer, certainly a rip-off but I'll be paying for the service shortly to stave off the boredom, although a friend has told me that they don't let you charge your tablet / phone up on the ward !!

Rob.L 1,090 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 If you have a data allowance as part of your mobile contract, it might be better to rely on that. When my wife was in the QMC a while back, there were no issues about her charging her iPad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
