I thought this might be useful to some:
Xfinity (Comcast), a terrestrial internet service provider, has opened up free hotspots all over the country, and they are available to everyone, including non-subscribers, for free. Check the two links below. The first one gives information, and the second one allows you to check for hotspots in your zip code.

Just tried both your links regarding free hotspots...neither of them will load...I think they call that "irony".
They both work for me. I think they call that "you're having problems with your connection."

Are these Hotspots like public WIFI?
I haven't used them yet, so I don't know. I would treat them as such, would keep my antivirus updated, etc.
Reg, here's what Xfinity has about their hotspots: https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/support/article/xfinity-wifi-protected
I usually check my parent's email in the morning. They have Xfinity.
Surprise! Can't get to it today. Route is end-to-end Level3, which dies somewhere in Philadelphia.
No one can tell me this isn't a nationwide CenturyLink issue.
