CableWiFi SSID in Washington DC?

Mon Aug 26 11:28:09 UTC 2013

There are indeed "FreePublicWiFi" nodes in some areas like Dupont Circle but it's not very convenient most of the time (signal strength or speed issues). IIRC there's a Commotion mesh around Columbia Heights which should be much faster. Personally, I just use a Mifi and never have any issues.

I haven't tried it in DC, but I can confirm that my parents' XFINITY and
grandparents' OO logins both work on the CableWiFi SSIDs in San Francisco,
and friends in DC with XFINITY say theirs work there. I assume it will also
for you.
