Re: CableWiFi SSID in Washington DC?

[Chung, Chae]

Drew,

Optimum's Hotspot locator will show partner hotspots that they have access
through.  Check out their wifi locator page below to see you will have
wifi coverage.  

http://m.optimumwifi.com/results.php?s=quickt=washington+dclocal=1lat=38
.9072309lon=-77.0364641#pageTop

They may also have an iPhone/Android app for locating optimum hotspots
similar to Comcast's appsŠ

Android version = 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.comcast.hsf
iPhone version = 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xfinity-wifi/id549643634?mt=8

Thanks!

There are indeed FreePublicWiFi nodes in some areas like Dupont Circle but 
it's not very convenient most of the time (signal strength or speed issues). 
IIRC there's a Commotion mesh around Columbia Heights which should be much 
faster. Personally, I just use a Mifi and never have any issues.

I haven't tried it in DC, but I can confirm that my parents' XFINITY and
grandparents' OO logins both work on the CableWiFi SSIDs in San Francisco,
and friends in DC with XFINITY say theirs work there. I assume it will also
for you.
