Ready to Surf Locations

I wish to point out that some of these locations are
...........................false on their website. THere is no hotspot at the
Chiswick Court Hotel 73 Chiswick High Road. nOr at the Trinity Cafe Bedford
Park London W4. I also checked the Meridien Hotel at Piccadilly Circus and
could not get a signal within the lobby area. I tried on two seperate
occasions. I did get a signal within CAfe Royal on Regents Street which
isn't listed as a site.

I do wish the writers and compilers of these lists would check out the
addresses before submitting them. It is frustrating to say the least to go
to locations with a laptop only to find you cannot get access, through no
fault of your own

I think that maybe you are experiencing one of the problems of WI-FI,
the nature of the beast! It is sometimes hard to keep a site up when
it is open to the public. EVERYONE that comes by wants it to work with
THEIR machine and soemtimes the configurations are played around with
making it not work for others. You need to go back to each of those
sites SVERAL times to make sure they are really gone for good and not
just down.

Some of them just aren't available, or maybe they're not powered up. The APs
at the Fitness Gym in Bromley and the Holmes Place Health Club in Croydon
have never been working when I've passed by. I guess if nobody uses the
terminals the APs won't be up.
