Have Three been dropped too?? It used to work. No, Three still have it. It has its uses. Would you not be disgruntled in this situation? I would be quite annoyed if I had picked Vodafone and they removed it. When travelling from Canary Wharf to Waterloo to get my train back to deepest darkest Devon, it was extremely useful to monitor realtime trains and opentraintimes to see when the incoming service for my train would arrive.
It serves very useful realtime information services. Not really a problem, it is handy but only worked when it felt like it. I am a virgin media customer so used my credentials for Virgin and it worked. To be honest, Vodafone 4G coverage is a much better idea! Hurry up Vodafone. I noticed this weekend too.
I was able to connect on Saturday, and by Sunday the VodafoneWifi network had vanished. Any of the other networks are free to deploy a rival service, surely? Indeed, if the plan is to deploy 4G across the underground network, then it makes less sense to spend on WiFi. It was rubbish anyway, never connected properly, constantly had to remove network, add again, it was worse than 11b wifi 1.
Is there any way to leave Vodafone without a fee for this decision? I only took out a Vodafone Pay Monthly deal because of this availability, I consider it an essential service. While in Moscow and Kiev tubes there is signal even in the tube underneath, let alone stations. And all for free. Luckily I was able to end my contract when I wanted to. I am near the end of a 2 year contract with Voda. I complained to them when I discovered thi, last week.
After September I shall seek to change networks after 10 years with Vodafone. Has anyone successfully managed to leave their contract early without an early termination fee as a result of Vodafone stopping the London Underground wifi service.

Honor's new foldable phone is bigger and more powerful than the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Full internet access is available for no extra charge to Virgin Mobile customers and Virgin Media customers with home Broadband. Customers of EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three can also use the service at no extra charge but please check the eligibility conditions for your provider. These are available to buy either online before you travel or via the WiFi Portal when you are underground. There's no coverage between stations and in tunnels but as soon as the train enters the next WiFi enabled station your device will automatically re-connect to the internet.
WiFi on the London Underground is ideal for emails, Facebook, Twitter or checking the news and travel updates. As there's no WiFi signal between stations, the best way to use Virgin Media WiFi is to do things that only need a short connection time. Web content like streaming movies or downloading large files, which require a continuous connection, are best left to when you arrive at your destination.
As WiFi on the London Underground is a public service, some sites may be blocked because of their content or for legal reasons. We've decided to concentrate on installing WiFi on the London Underground throughout stations first, such as in ticket halls and platforms.
This is so that we can expand the network to as many stations as possible. Any device that can connect to a home, work or public WiFi network will be able to connect to WiFi on the London Underground too. For business devices, contact your IT department to find out whether they'll work. Unfortunately some business implementations for BlackBerry will not allow email to be used over a WiFi connection.
This is not unique to WiFi on the London Underground. Please contact your IT department for further information. Once you register, our WiFi network remembers a unique device code that is used to authenticate your device.
This means that you'll automatically connect to WiFi whenever you travel on the Underground. It works the same way as when you set your device to connect automatically to your home WiFi network. This can happen on any connection whether it's public or not. As with other public WiFi networks, we recommend that you have adequate security and anti-virus software on your device before you start using WiFi on the London Underground. The majority of security risks online are spread via malware within certain webpages.
Up to date security software should protect you from this. You may want to make sure that you have adequate security and anti-virus software on your device before you start using WiFi on the London Underground. We recommend you follow the advice of your device manufacturer on how to do this.
Also, if you need to send sensitive data such as your personal details or internet banking information, look for the padlock icon at the top of your browser bar to show that you're on a secure connection SSL or HTTPS. As WiFi on the London Underground is a public WiFi network, Virgin Media has a responsibility to ensure that the content available is suitable for young people to access themselves or to look at over someone else's shoulder.
First, you'll need to log out of the service. Then you can register with the service again using your new provider. You can use a number of devices on the WiFi service at any one time, meaning you can register and use a new device without having to log out of a previous one. There is a limit to how many devices you can register with the service, and when this limit has been reached the next time you attempt to connect with a new device your least used device will be disconnected to make way.
Unfortunately not. However, it's easy to get to: simply bookmark the page in your Favourites or if you have already been surfing the internet on the service, just press the back button till you reach the WiFi Portal homepage.
Don't forget you'll always be directed to the WiFi Portal homepage the first time you browse the Internet when connected to WiFi on the Underground each day. If you're with Virgin Mobile, Virgin Broadband, EE, Vodafone, O2 or Three you'll need to enter some of your customer details the first time you use the WiFi service, so make sure you have these to hand.
If you're registering for a WiFi Pass, you'll need to enter your email address and choose a password in order to set up a WiFi Pass account for the first time. You'll then need to buy a WiFi Pass to get access to the internet.
When you top up your credit, it can take a little while for our systems to be updated and may take a maximum of 36 hours before you'll be able to access the WiFi again. You can use more than one device on WiFi on the London Underground, and you'll need to register each device the first time you use it. Once you've registered on that device, it'll be automatically recognised every time you connect to WiFi on the London Underground and you won't need to re-enter your details.
Please see your device's user manual for specific instructions on how to connect to a WiFi network. If the station is enabled and you've tried connecting inside the station, try walking a few steps then search again for available WiFi networks. We've installed a huge amount of capacity at every WiFi enabled Tube station, but it does have to be shared out amongst everyone. If the service is slow, it's probably because the station is crowded and a lot of people are using it. We'll be monitoring speeds and increasing capacity as needed.
This may be due to a number of issues, ranging from a fault on the service to something interfering with the WiFi signal. If it's a fault on the network we'll fix it as quickly as we can. If you see other people connecting but you can't, try setting up your device again as you did when you first activated it. If you've already connected to Virgin Media WiFi and get this message when you try to surf to a web page, it could be due to one of the following reasons:.
When you connect at the start of your Tube journey and open your browser, you'll be taken to the WiFi Portal page to give you instant access to useful information like the latest travel news and London information.
