Brighton and Hove is top of the hotspots!

New statistics from BT have shown that Brighton and Hove is the most connected city in the country with the highest density of free internet points of any major UK city.

Brighton and Hove has more than 11,000 Wi-Fi hot spots, which works out at around 130 per sq km.

The city has been named among the top Wi-Fi connected cities in the country and because of its relative small size means it stands alone in terms of hot spots per area.

London in comparison has 30 times as many hot spots but because of its huge urban sprawl has only around half as many Wi-Fi connections per sq kilometre.

Brighton and Hove also beats other cities such as Leeds with 92 hot spots per sq km and Cardiff which has 84 per sq km.

BT announced last week its Wi-Fi hot spot numbers have hit a new high with 3.5 million across the UK and Ireland. There are 380,000 locations in London, 25,000 in Birmingham and Leeds, around 20,000 in Manchester, Edinburgh and Sheffield, and more than 11,000 in Liverpool, Brighton, Bristol and Cardiff.
