According to that EU Twaat Boss were all going to have WiFi in every City, Town and Village by the end of 2020,

They might have in Swindon

yea they've had Public WiFi in the City of London, all square mile of it, for about 10 years now, not sure if its still free though.

I noticed when I was in Chingford (E4) the other day that they have good Street WiFi up and running, not cheap to use though.

A friend of mine lives in a Flat above Barclay Bank, he's been using there Free Wifi for about 5 years now, seems good in the evenings as well when I measured it, because no one is on it, about 15 MB's down and 6 MB's up, problem is they've recently starting to switch it off after 5pm now.

Ive told him to write in and complain.

I *think* there is a way to fool it if you do want to tether on PAYG, but I lost the will to live halfway through the article I found on the net about it so cannot confirm if it works or not.

There isn't a foolproof way.  You *may* be able to get away with it for a short time if you have the knowledge of what checks a provider is doing at that point in time, and said provider isn't using DPI.

Ah, from someone who really knows!

Glad I didn't bother to try it then!

I tether a lot on GiffGaff which they officially block but they don't seem to enforce.

IME experience, you can take the piss a fair bit the first time

Obviously the non unlimited data packages allow tethering anyway.
