Digital Empowerment

Free internet for the people who need it most.

Getting online should not depend on what you can pay. Alongside our paid packages, 123NET gives free internet to the places in a community that need it most, from security cameras and places of worship to schools and free public Wi-Fi. The aim is simple: let more people learn, connect and take part in a digital world.

Where we give back

Alongside our paid plans, we give free connectivity to the places a community depends on.

Free links for security cameras

We partner with local security firms and carry the connectivity cost for their cameras, so footage stays online and clear, and their budget goes to covering more of the community.

Free internet for places of worship

Mosques, churches, temples, synagogues, gurdwaras, monasteries and more, for live-streamed services, online religious study and community events, including gatherings during Ramadan.

Free internet for schools

We partner with schools and educational institutions and give them free high-speed fibre for teaching and learning.

Free Wi-Fi where we cover

We offer free Wi-Fi across every area 123NET covers, so more people can get online.
