I can just see it now.

Like the Apple store it'll be full of kids surfing. Lol

Hmmmm, was thinking the same....
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Now put it somewhere really useful like the hospital trust.

Didn't we ask for this to be investigated as a possibility some while ago?

Yes we did but it fell on deaf ears. I can't for the life of me think of any plus points to having wifi in Argos. They, like Asda, Tesco and the likes have always had their own wifi.

I think there was a worry at the time that the hospitals might not allow this due to the income they get from their chargeable services, like phones and tv.

I noticed a kiosk in my local Argos selling mobile phone contracts.

Surely all this will result in is people entering the store to use free wifi and getting in the way of customers actually trying to buy stuff. Many Argos stores are fairly cramped in the first place.
