African Pride Melrose Arch ups WiFi offering
THE African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel has embarked on a major
project to offer high-speed uncapped WiFi to guests and conference
delegates. This follows from the previous service where guests were
able to use 500 MB of free WiFi per day. Guests will also be able
to enjoy WiFi connectivity elsewhere at the Melrose Arch Precinct,
dining, or shopping. The Precinct recently introduced new fibre-optic
cabling, which gives visitors up to two hours of free WiFi every 24
hours. For businesses, there is 10MB uncapped WiFi per day.
