What's new for Virgin Media London Underground WiFi?
With the cat all but out out the bag, Virgin Media has now gone and confirmed that EE and Vodafone have signed up to use its London Underground WiFi network, meaning EE and Vodafone customers can freely access WiFi on the tube.
As well as this Virgin Media has confirmed that 48 new stations will be getting WiFi by spring 2013, with 20 of those due to come online in December this year.
From January the network will be free to Virgin Media, Vodafone, EE, Orange and T-Mobile customers, with daily, weekly and monthly pay-as-you-go rates from £2/day.
The next 20 stations to be added are:
Balham
Belsize Park
Bounds Green
Camden Town
Chalk Farm
Clapham Common
Finsbury Park
Hampstead
Holloway Road
Highgate
Lancaster Gate
Mornington Crescent
Notting Hill Gate
Oval
Russell Square
Seven Sisters
South Kensington
Swiss Cottage
Turnpike Lane
Wood Green
Locations of the next 28 have yet to be announced; we’ll update as soon as we know where the WiFi’s coming next.
Jon James, executive director of broadband at Virgin Media said: “WiFi on London Underground has been an incredible success with over 700,000 people already online and a remarkable million sessions every day. We’re rolling out the service to reach even more stations throughout London, from Camden Town to Clapham Common and, thanks to our partnership with EE and Vodafone, the majority of Tube users can stay connected for no extra cost.”
