Comcast opens free WiFi hotspots in Florida ahead of Hurricane Irma

Comcast has opened its WiFi hotspots free of charge to anyone to help people communicate before, during and after Hurricane Irma affects Florida.

People who do not subscribe to Xfinity internet service are eligible for free WiFi.  They will be asked to sign a page allowing them access to service for two hours each use through Sep. 15.  Users can then sign back in to get an additional two hours of use.

Existing Xfinity internet customers can sign in with their usernames and password and they will be automatically connected to Xfinity WiFi hotspots in the future.

CLICK HERE for the hotspot locations.  Select the "xfinitywifi" network when in range to connect.

Gov. Rick Scott announced that AT&T and Verizon are helping to set up hotspot WiFi locations as well.
