Comcast making wifi hotspots available to all during Hurricane Irma

Comcast is making its more than 137,000 Xfinity wifi hotspots across Florida available to everyone, at no charge, during Hurricane Irma.

To find hotspot locations near you, go to: Xfinity.com/wifi.

To use one of the hotspots, select “xfinitywifi” from the list of available networks. Non-subscribers can sign on for complimentary sessions by clicking “Not an Xfinity Internet Customer.”

In a news release issued Wednesday, Comcast said the free access will be available through Sept. 15.
