BT Openzone logoBT has launched an extensive Wireless Broadband (Wi-Fi) network with coverage across Liverpool city centre – from Pembroke Place, west of Liverpool University, down to the Three Graces, across to the Albert Dock and up to Rodney Street. See the full coverage here:

http://www.btwireless.bt.com/availability_liverpool.html

BT has worked in partnership with Liverpool City Council to deliver the network. They are also working together to investigate a range of applications to improve key services addressing areas such as traffic management, environmental services and tourism. Included at launch is a facility that allows citizens and visitors to Liverpool free access to the City Council web sites, Liverpool Business and What’s on 08 – free to anyone logging on to the wireless service in the Wireless Liverpool area (Charges apply for BT Openzone and require Wi-Fi enabled equipment for usage).

Getting Started

  • Starting your Wi-Fi experience couldn’t be simpler. Finding a hotspot is straightforward: BT Openzone provides several ways to help customers locate their nearest Wi-Fi access point. Customers can log on to http://www.btopenzone.com/find and input their postcode or town to pull out local hotspot locations.
  • BT Openzone offers a variety of payment methods to suit individual needs. You can choose from 1 hour to 24 hour vouchers which are a great way to try the service for a small price, to pay per minute for occasional ongoing usage and subscriptions for regular ongoing usage.
  • You can also buy vouchers through providers such as local company, BOZII, who provide access to many different wi-fi networks worldwide through one account.
