So just wondering how many other places offer Wi-Fi on their local bus services?

 

The Wi-FI service on Brighton & Hove buses is fab I have to say 

 

Fantastic

I'd like to have wifi at our train stations as I sometimes wait 15 minutes for a train and it gets boring.....

What an innovation it would be if O2 were to introduce wifi in all hospitals. What better way to help those recovering in hospital or sitting forever in the waiting room....

@jonsie  My local hospital now has a free wifi service and the speed is quite quick too considering the amount of people who will be using it - there's hundreds of staff alone nevermind patients.

Our hospital does have WiFi which is password protected. Available for patients staff and SOME visitors.

Quite right to password protect in my opinion. We have far too many people in at the weekends for various other reasons...drunks, brawlers, drug users, the homeless looking for an overnight stay etc etc etc. (we even have people using the hospital grounds to walk their dogs at night...)

I could just imagine the overload on limited weekend resources if people thought there was FREE wifi to be had as well. slight_frown

Manchester Royal has wifi but the local Bolton Royal doesn't. The system is there for in-patients to PAY to the company which also provides the over expensive pay tv. My post was that I thought it would be an innovation for O2 to provide free wifi at all hospitals not to infer that some hospitals didn't already have their own.:smileywink:

I agree it would be a good idea @jonsie ...as long as your intepretation of 'Free' runs alongside 'password protected' ....As I say the amount of 'ramblers' or call them what you will..to come through the doors of our hospital looking for free anything...at the weekends...beggars belief. Nurses are always finding strangers lurking in corridors up to no good ...a bit off putting at 3am in the morning..Rolleys

Ours is not password protected - please don't give them any ideas - they will probably start charging people to use it.  It was my life saver on a few occasions when I was a patient.
