We heard about the 80 tube stations that’ll be getting free Wi-Fi courtesy of Virgin by the end of July, but the first of them have already gone live for all your free internet sipping needs — time to go find out how fast they really are for yourselves.
From today, free Wi-Fi within King’s Cross and Warren Street stations is live, with Oxford Circus and Green Park being switched on tomorrow, and Victoria and Euston joining the free Wi-Fi party on Saturday June 9.
The rest of the 80 stations will gradually be switched on as they’re ready in June and July. To get your fill of free Wi-Fi, all you’ll need to do is connect and register your email address. Make the most of it folks; once the summer of sport is done and dusted, it won’t be free any more, so fill your boots while you can.

Free Wi-Fi Hits Another 32 London Tube Stations
I think it’ll be mostly used for checking the status of the network, though I’m sure someone will set up a business or office down there for the duration of the trial, just get one of the buskers’ spots!
(In angry London commuter mode) Great another reason for people to stand about in the station moping about and slowing people who want to get somewhere
Do wonder how congested it will be though?
AVOID VIRGIN! go for BT Infinity if available.
Virgin Installation time wait SO FAR: 3.5months
Can’t get a straight answer out of them.
Requested Temporary ADSL a month ago but was told that it would only take another week… stupid me.
Just a little rant about Virgin Media…
I’m always confused when people have problems with Virgin Broadband. I’ve been with them as a student for 2 years here in Liverpool and I’m still yet to suffer any problems beyond a couple of 2 hour outages due to a fault.
I find the best way of getting answers is to tweet at them though as they seem to have a twitter customer support team.
I don’t personally have a problem with Virgin Media. They have been pretty decent in my interactions with them. BT on the other hand has been a nightmare. They held up a construction site for over a month because they “didn’t have the time” to do what would have taken them 1 hour (tops) to do. Oh well, to each their own I guess.
Yeah, unfortunately they both can be useless.
Has anyone tested this out? For King’s cross station, is it limited just to the underground or would you get signal in the train station? Its not like anyone is hanging out in the underground of Warren street.
