Want a coffee? Need Wi-Fi too?

I’d personally recommend enjoying the taste of a well-made coffee without the hassle of your phone and laptop trying to grab your attention at every minute, but that’s very rarely the case these days. Thankfully Costa have finally chosen to embrace this with the help of O2.

The MD of O2, one Gavin Franks, said this about their deal with Costa:

“We are hugely excited to partner with Costa. Coffee shops are seen as the traditional heartland for public access wifi and Costa is the largest coffee chain in the UK. …It shows that people and businesses want fast, reliable wifi that’s easy to use and free no matter who you are.”

Its unknown at the moment how many of Costa’s 1300+ UK stores are going to have this technology and how it’s going to be rolled out, but I would put money on it being heavily centred on London in time for the caffeine-searching Olympic fans who’ve travelled for days to see their favourite athletes.
