...unless you live in Alaska!

but what happened to the letter "E"? - geekoid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"2424 cafes
842 cities"
One fscking country, as usual... The world's a lot bigger than The US of A, people. - stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Someone's a little angry.
- Robyr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5oc12:
10MBps is no where near the speed of an OC-48, much less two. Internet backbones, and i mean only internet backbones, have these kind of trunks. - sishgupta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Digg really isn't that slow...
Your OC48 trunks are obviously shared and not yours.
The fact that digg is so slow might have to do with the fact that a whole campus is using "your" OC48 pipes.
The fact that you are doing 10mbps u/d is likely the average bandwidth available for the computers at a given time, but it is not a guaruntee.
Also, we all know that bandwidth != speed. There are many factors that can affect your latency between you and digg. - bluemonki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Why the funk are London and Oxford under the Sweden heading?
You yanks couldn't find your own ass with a map!! - slugicide, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Cool, I added the two cafes I hang out in. It must be new though, since I added the first cafe in Olympia, Washington, yet the downtown area there is *completely soaked* in WiFi. I suppose if everyone adds their favorites, it'll be fleshed out in no time.
- simplenation, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9are these only free wi-fi spots?
- srobbin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6That's a great site. They've even got a mobile version:
http://m.hotspotr.com - adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"are these only free wi-fi spots?"
If you look close at the markers it will have a "$" in it if you have to pay, and they are red too. - Robyr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5So... what university do you go to that you have unfettered access to 5GB pipes? Like it or not, even if your university had a pipe like that, you would be throttled more than you even know.
- geekoid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Why didn't they put all of those on the WORLDWIDE map that they have on the front of the site then? That's pretty dumb really.
- stalefries, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5How many of these sites do we need?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ensuing confusion:
"So to see their site, you got to hotspotter dot com."
"Hotspotter?"
"Yeah, with no 'E'."
"What?"
"Hotspotter but with no E"
"What?"
"***** it just get EVDO then you won't have to worry about where to find a hot spot." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wow, my city has one wifi hotspot and you have to pay. This site sucks.
- proghead, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4it's not stealing if they provide it free doofus...
- HalBSure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No one told me Web 2.0 was going to be such a pain in the ass. I wouldn't have installed it if I had known how much work was going to be involved.
Does anyone have a torrent for Web 1.5.1 (or whatever the last stable release was) so I can do a reinstall? - nlight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes, it does. I added a few hotspots in Bulgaria myself.

Where's the patch? - sfac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2>One fscking country, as usual... The world's a lot bigger than The US of A, people.
It's international too: http://hotspotr.com/cities/international - kafitz22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bah to this! I got all the wifi I need: http://www.wifimaps.com
- crashing2thesea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1A great tool! I just added the four wi-fi hotspots in my area that I use often - "Atlanta Bread Company in Hickory, NC - a great place for lunch and Digg.com!"
- curveo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The site is no good. I checked two of the areas I travel to and it was inaccurate
- aserer511, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2my friend's dad had a 15 dollar watch battery powered transponder that could detect WiFi a/b signals, it was pretty cool.
- andrewpmk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3It doesn't work outside the US. No digg.
- shawnz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no digg for "Sez."
- dyslexicsUNTIED, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Did anyone notice the little thumbs up and thumbs down icons for working and socializing?
- gheide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wifind.org goes to the same place - thanks Andre... easier for me to remember...

Covered this in a different way, but there's lots of free WiFi available
It used to be that you had to chase down the connection, hear about it from the geek on the street. But nowadays, there are myriad sites that’ll hook you up gratis. Check out WiFi Free Spot, started by a blogger, god bless him. Then there’s JiWire, which is great for hooking you up with pay services that have hot spots all over the place.
According to WiFi 411, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta and Seattle are among the top wired cities.
Keep in mind, there may be possible hazards that go along with more wireless access: increased risk of sunburn, drunken downloading and over-caffeination.
We’ll take our chances.

- joelunch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3What about outside of the US. They have wifi too.
- insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Oh hi, you must be new here - to Web 2.0 that is.
If there isn't any hotspots, it's because you haven't added any yet. Get cracking! - molecool, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2WOW - the timing on this couldn't be any better. Sitting at Starbucks somewhere in L.A right now looking for hotspots (free prefered ;-)) Was getting really frustrated with jwire - tough to find anything - the maps are TINY, what gives? Hotspotr looks really cool - DUGG!
- HalBSure, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The universe is a lot bigger than just one planet, people.
- hibachipenguins, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3that is awesome, I just added a bunch of places in my city and now we are #10, what now bitches!
- Auto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is it just me or is it that every day more and more dotcom 2.0 sites are switching to names with... you know... no vowels. Flickr, HotSpotr, etc., etc.
Next we will see an AA club titled Sobr.
And I agree with the previous diggers, this is not new. No digg. - alabamawanderer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good. I've always liked posts like that. Dugg.
- bsharwood, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2 So where's the one that covers Canada?
- brainerd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Great interface an maps. Utilizes Google maps so you can eyeball your location or destination. It's easy to enter data and it's building up fast. Add your favorite hot spots. Bound to eclipse the other wi-fi spotters in short order.
- markfid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree, it's very annoying to find .com sites that think they only need to cater for the US, isn't that what the .us domain is for?
With that said though, this site does seem to have a few wifi spots noted down for other countries, it's just very limited. I always try this little test to see if a site deserves it's .com domain, try typing "Paris" into the search box, most people think of France when you say "Paris" but no, this site will take you to the US (As to many other .com sites). In my opinion, for sites to have a .com domain they should be country neutral and these little things should be fixed. - mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7Source:

- salinemist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Somebody call the waaaaaaaambulance!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Maybe it has to do with the numerous accounts that people have. Half of Digg have more then one account.
- nuclearpenguins, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Because it's trendy to spell things incorrectly.
- crossmr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Does it take some time to show up? I added one on my town, and there isn't even a single pin above the town. Yet its listed on the "Recent additions" ticker.
