That will work out ok for me then....there are around 4-5 wifi hotspots in a 5 mile radius of me.

11000 ?

Yep 11000. They have linked up with MaccyD's and Costa to name but two in the launch. Seems like o2 are pushing their wifi offering (perhaps cos the data network is crap???)

Sounds good. Just out of interest if you are registered with the cloud wifi download the fastconnect app (I have used the android version), register your device (you don't have to be connected to the cloud at the time). You can then remove the app if you want - and then whenever you are in range of a 'the cloud' wifi connection you connect automatically.

The O2 wifi app claims to do that already so nothing new unless they plan on fixing the app.
