Hampshire-based internet access provider Onestream, which sells broadband packages using Openreach’s national UK full fibre network, has today announced a new partnership with Virtual Private Networking provider NordVPN that will give customers access to the VPN service “at a discounted rate“.
According to the blurb, NordVPN’s service “encrypts users’ internet traffic, making it virtually impossible for third parties to track their online activity“. This is said to “ensure that users’ personal information, such as browsing activity, remains secure, even on public Wi-Fi networks” (assuming you trust the VPN provider and your computer/device hasn’t already been compromised via another method, that is).
VPNs also allows users to access home content while travelling, granting them access to websites and content that may otherwise be blocked in their region.
Steve Evans, Operations Director of Onestream, said:
“At Onestream, we prioritise our customers’ security and privacy above all else. This partnership demonstrates our unwavering commitment to protecting our customers’ online activities, whether they’re at home or on the go. We are thrilled to partner with NordVPN to offer our customers a comprehensive solution.”
The announcement doesn’t, however, mention what kind of discount(s) customers will be able to take, which is important because it’s often possible to take a NordVPN plan via one of the many big discounts that can already be found promoted online (e.g. if you follow the Nord links in this article, they’re currently offering “73% off 2-year plans + 3 extra months” – making it £2.39 per month).
We also had a quick look at Onestream’s website before publishing and couldn’t see any obvious mention of the new partnership, thus it may be that they haven’t yet got all of the details sorted or online.
