hi-
does anyone know the best place to get free wireless access in the city centre area of accy? i'm visiting soon and need to keep myself occupied during the workday til my b/f gets home from work. thank you
 
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 :)
 
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..
 
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)
 
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:( ).

Its part of my broadband yeh will need wifi enabled stuff but its part of the bt hub you get handy for when i update my stuff or should say if LOL
 
Well I've never used bt openzone but usually wifi hotspots let you connect and then look at 1 or 2 pages for free after that they give you a screen that basically says give me your card details and then you pay for either an hour, 24 hours or a week. And usually you can't carry it over. You can join many schemes where you pay for it in advance, but this is only good if you know where you will be and who will be supplying wifi, I don't think I've ever connected twice to the same wifi company in all my travels.
