Bus Wi-Fi

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

No Gemz...

In our hospital, although it IS password protected the password is given to patients should they ask for it. No charge. It is after all for the benefit of patients in a hospital...not random folk who will drop by any hospital at all hours...to only make use of the facility. :wink:

The decision to charge or even password protect is made by the individual NHS Trust hospitals...I suppose dependent on finances and the area in which you live

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....

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..
