Comcast Opens Xfinity WiFi Network to All After Nor'easter

Hundreds of Xfinity WiFi hotspots have been opened to help residents and emergency personnel stay connected after this week's nor'easter.

To help residents and emergency personnel stay connected during this week's Nor'easter, Comcast has opened its Xfinity WiFi hotspots across New Jersey and the greater Philadelphia region to anyone who needs them – including non-Xfinity Internet subscribers, for free.

For a map of Xfinity WiFi hotspots, which are located both indoors and outdoors in places such as shopping districts, parks, businesses and train platforms, please visit www.xfinity.com/wifi.
