This is Rip Off Britain!

I'm sure that if you put a few choice words into Google like +free +hotspots +wifi you may find more info.

I believe there is a free (i think) wireless hotspot in bristol, that runs from the top of Park Street down to St Augustine's Parade, the Watershed and some surrounding key roads - approximately three kilometres squared.

Although accessing wireless networks without the permission of the owner, even when they're unsecure and broadcasting SSIDs can lead to trouble, so be careful.
