In the whole of South Africa there are 56 wifi hotspots.
Not one of the 56 wifi hotspots are free.

In the USA there are 32349 wifi hotspots.
5563 wifi hotspots are free.

In the UK there are 12401 wifi hotspots.
139 wifi hotspots are free.

In Iran there are 3 wifi hotspots.
1 wifi hotspots are free.

In New Zealand there are 293 wifi hotspots.
2 wifi hotspots are free.

I think we can at least have 1 free wifi hotspot in South Africa. That is why I have one. Free, uncapped wifi hotspot. It's just not very easy to find. :D
 
I dont know how truthfull the stats are... as I have got free Wifi access in Holiday-inn (in Durban beachfront) does that count ?

To tell the truth, I don't know. Maybe they count as one because it is one building???

Don't know really.

I'm not picking up anything on Durban wifi hotspots. Maybe not updated.
Well, the Boingo hotspot in Canal Walk (Cape Town) doesn't exist anymore. With Boingo you pay like R140 per month then you have unlimited wifi access at anyone of their hotspots worldwide.
 
u'll find free hotspots at the airport (international departures), then there's mug&bean that gives something like 45mins for free - cape town holiday in, city lodge and a couple more
 
Well there are over 50 AP's in Blouberg alone so the stats are of course far from accurate..
 
there's a differance between hotspots and ap's
 
A Hotspot is an AP thats been configured specifically to allow Internet access. Some are free, some are commercial.
 
AP = access point

You wont find one for free...the decent ones are about R800 +
 
I have a wifi enabled pda and I've found 2 free wifi hotspots in jhb where I've looked. Well I don't know if they were meant to be free, but they were completely open and accessible to all in the area (restuarant complex)
 
piesang: just get something like networkstumbler and go for a drive around the block, you will defenately find some "hotspots"
