Bid Manager

Description

About us:
Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem - our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks often in remote locations ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasnt an option.

And that problem isnt exclusive to the military either. Students living in University accommodation families visiting holiday resorts or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.

Conventional home broadband doesnt always work for them.

Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband such as super-fast speeds WiFi and secure and private networks but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms.

We take the complexity out of connectivity.
