Comcast has announced it is opening up free Wi-Fi access to everyone in Hurricane Sandy’s impact zone, whether Comcast customers or not.
A Comcast representative tells Broadband Reports the free Wi-Fi access is available in affected communities in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
- Non-XFINITY Internet customers should search for the “xfinitywifi” network name and click on the “Not a Comcast subscriber?” link at the bottom of the Sign In page.
- Then select the “Complimentary Trial Session” option from the drop down list.
- Users will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every 2 hours through Wednesday, Nov. 7.
For a map of XFINITY WiFi hotspots, which are located both indoors and outdoors in malls, shopping districts, parks, and train platforms, please visit XFINITY Wi-Fi.
(Complimentary XFINITY Wi-Fi service may not be available in Partner Wi-Fi Hotspot locations).
I have to say one thing that I love about this website is that they do call out a company that does the right thing even though they largely disagree with their policies.’
