Mobile Industry Review: Free WiFi in UK McDonalds rocks

  • ... · 1 year ago
    I hate McDonalds wi-fi. I was on my latptop in downtown Montreal today, there was free wi-fi everywhere. Then I go into a McDonalds and I ask them about the wi-fi (2.99 for 30 minutes, no thank you...) there was access to 2 other free wireless networks in the restaurant, now that's just stupid!

    I work for McDonalds Resturants Ltd. and all McDonalds should now have free Wi-Fi, (subject to functionality of equiment). We no longer use BT openzone and now use a service called "The Cloud" www.thecloud.net. This now makes McDonalds the the UK's biggest provider of free wireless internet access.The free service will benefit a broad range of McDonald's customers, from business people making a pit stop to check email between meetings to those looking for a leisurely break at the weekend to download music. In fact, a regular hotspot user who pays to log on for just an hour a week in a coffee shop could stand to save as much as £260 per year on premium WiFi charges by using McDonald's free service.
