Sorry i don't mean on the underground, i was thinking of all the
coffee shops and pubs a couple of years ago i was able to use
completely free until the big networks frightened them with stories
of abuse
and sold them their secure systems.

I haven't seen an open wifi in months, all WPA now


Wetherspoon still has free wi-fi. At least until 27th November 2019.

Like most of Skys "The Cloud" outlets, it's only free for the first hour
then you have to pay, and of course you have to sign up and sign in
for the service.

That way they can say they are providing "free" Wifi
