You could use the library its free

Re: wireless in accy
 

I believe the Whitakers pub on Burnley Road now supply free wireless, apart from that nearly every street here has un-official un-secured wireless networks that you could connect to :)

Re: wireless in accy
 

There is BT openzone wifi blanket across broadway, although this will cost you, but I think you can pay for just a day rather than take out a monthly sub..

Re: wireless in accy
 

We really need to get wifi sorted in this country for it to take off properly.



I'd be happy to pay a small fee for a decent coverage(as my pone has it I often like to check stuff)

Re: wireless in accy
 

ohhhh thank you all for your help!

Re: wireless in accy
 

Where I live, I have a choice of 4 wireless networks to connect to, 1 is always on.

People are so silly not to enable the basic security, god knows what other places are like.

I don't think you will have a problem getting reception on your wireless in most parts of Accy. We have several local stations you should be able to get like 97.4 Rock FM, 105.4 Century FM, 99.8 2BR and 107 The Bee. I would not bother with Radio Lancashire if I was you. You don't have to pay for any of these. Do you have to pay where you live?

The quiz machine in the Last orders B'burn Rd is supposed to be connected for wi-fi, but mick won't risk taking his laptop to find out.

I wouldn't recommend going there alone Mick and I might be there, (yes I know it's not the greatest pub, but it's the only reasonable one within walking distance now the Stag has closed:( ).

Is that what that bt openzone wifi is:confused:

Re: wireless in accy
 

yes, openzone is public wifi (although you have to pay to use it)

Re: wireless in accy

Re: wireless in accy
 

Do I then? :confused: If yes WTF is it? :confused: lol? ........ and also why do I pay for things that I don't even know how to use? (answers on a postcard please) :o

Re: wireless in accy
 

Yes its included:D tho not sure if its one off free addition or every month tho:D its a minefield of technological additions with bt atm lol

Re: wireless in accy
 

what gives you 250 mins free mel? You would need either a wifi enabled laptop/PDA/phone to use it
