Loose Connection

Loose Connection

Loose Connection is a community wireless (Wi-Fi) project based in Brighton, England. Started in April 2003 aiming to provide wireless Internet to residents of Brighton and particularly patrons of the public houses they regularly occupy.

There are currently 19 Loose Connection hotspots around Brighton & Hove, these hotspots are free to use and do not require a username or password to access services.

Ownership

Loose Connection is owned and operated by MetraNet, a small wireless broadband supplier, now promoting the use of Wimax, that has grown out of the WiFi culture it has developed in Brighton and Hove since Loose Connection started creating free wireless hotspots.
