Want to save your mobile data minutes and stay connected on the go for free? If you're a Bright House, Cablevision (Optimum Online), Comcast (Xfinity), Cox, or Time Warner Cable customer, you'll be able to get free wireless Internet access in select cities, thanks to these cable companies' agreement today to offer free access to 50,000 Wi-Fi hotspots for customers.
Although there are tons of free Wi-Fi hotspots open to all already, including Starbucks and Barnes & Noble locations, the new CableWiFi Internet access makes it even easier to get connected. The free Wi-Fi via CableWiFi will be offered at hotels, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars in major US cities.
Cities covered by CableWiFi include Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York City (and the surrounding Tri-state area), Orlando, and Tampa.
Cablevision and Time Warner Cable already offer free unlimited Wi-Fi access to their customers (at least in NYC) under their own Wi-Fi hotspot names. The expanded CableWiFi service is available now in New York City for Cablevision customers and in Florida for Bright House and Cablevision.
With wireless providers killing unlimited data plans and free tethering?also disappearing, free Internet access when you're not at home is pretty valuable.
Just make sure when you connect to the free CableWiFi network or any free Wi-Fi hotspot that you take measures to stay safe on the public Wi-Fi hotspot, because of the increased security risks.
