1.5Mbps customers now included in free Wi-Fi offer
If you're an AT&T DSL customer with a connection 1.5Mbps or faster, you've now got free, unlimited access to AT&T's network of 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots. AT&T customers, who already got discounted access to the Wi-Fi network, should save about $60 annually from the deal. Non-AT&T customers would normally pay $240 yearly for access to the Wi-Fi network. It's a smart way for AT&T to add competitive value to their DSL service, and is a perk they were already offering higher speed (3Mbps+) customers.
AT&T's Wi-Fi network, which the company isn't alone in claiming is the largest Wi-Fi network in the United States, is operated largely by Wayport. 9,000 of the 10,000 hotspot locations are McDonald restaurants, but the network can also be found at most major airports as well as Barnes & Noble book stores.
A full list of hotspot locations can be found at the AT&T Wi-Fi website. AT&T users simply have to find the network (SSID: attwifi), and log in using their primary DSL or U-Verse account username and password. Discuss this news article
