WightFibre Make Netgem’s New PLEIO UK TV Box Available on Isle of Wight
Broadband ISP WightFibre, which have deployed their own gigabit speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across the Isle of Wight – just off the South Coast of Hampshire (England), has become the latest internet provider to make Netgem TV’s new PLEIO set-top-box – including support for the new Freely live TV streaming service – available at a discounted price.
As with the prior announcements from Brsk and Connect Fibre, this news won’t come as a surprise because Netgem TV already revealed that WightFibre would be one of the first to adopt PLEIO as part of last week’s launch (here). But at the time, the ISP hadn’t yet made the new hardware and service available to their customers, which changes today.
The provider also has a fairly attractive deal on the new service and box, which offers it at only £5.95 per month for the first 12 months of service and then £8.95 thereafter. Broadband bundles that include the PLEIO streaming box also start at just £26.90 per month.

Alternatively, anybody can buy PLEIO at retail via Amazon for £99, but this doesn’t include their optional service subscription for premium channels and games (an extra £9.99 monthly if you buy the hardware at retail). The catch is that, due to high demand, the new box is currently out of stock via Amazon and so getting it via an ISP bundle is currently the only option.
