The Brunel Shopping Centre is now offering customers free wi-fi throughout the entire =centre.

To access the new service visitors will need to select _FreeBrunelWiFi from the network list on their phones, tablets or laptops and follow a simple one-off sign-up procedure. Once signed in, future log in just requires a name and password.

Various shops within the centre have offered free wi-fi for some time but this is the first time that the centre as a whole has offered the service.

Kevin Gwilliam, general manager of The Brunel, said he was finding that the new service is already proving popular.

Kevin said: “The wi-fi has been operational for a few weeks now.

"We wanted to roll it out gradually so that we could ensure there were no teething troubles, and thankfully it’s working really well. Many customers are now taking advantage of it.”
