More than 20,000 XFINITY Wi-Fi hotspots available throughout parts of Washington State
In anticipation of continued severe weather this afternoon and evening, Comcast is doing its part to help keep people connected and to assist first responders. This morning Comcast opened to the public, free of charge, its extensive XFINITY WiFi outdoor hotspot network throughout its Western Washington footprint with the exception of Cowlitz and Clark counties, and in the Spokane metro area. This network consists of thousands of XFINITY WiFi hotspots where anyone with a WiFi enabled device will be able to get online – allowing them to stay connected with loved ones, stay abreast of weather forecasts and even stay up to date with the latest sports scores. As long as a hotspot location has power, it will be available to anyone.
Normally, the XFINITY WiFi hotspots are available on an unlimited basis to Xfinity customers and for two hours every month to non-customers. In Washington, the network consists of over 20,000 outdoor hotspot locations.
