Comcast to install 40 hot spots throughout city

By Northern Star staff

Comcast announced plans Monday to install more than 40 Xfinity WiFi hot spots throughout DeKalb.

The installments will add to the almost 7,000 hot spots in city businesses, homes and outdoor locations.

“The addition of WiFi hot spots is a great amenity for business owners, patrons and students and will help attract even more people to downtown to work, shop, enjoy cultural events and study,” said DeKalb Mayor John Rey, according to a Comcast news release.

The WiFi network will be available to Xfinity high-speed internet customers for no additional charge and to non costumers for two free one-hour sessions a month.

Hot spot locations can be found at xfinity.com/WiFi. People can connect to the Xfinity WiFi network on their mobile devices or computers by selecting “Xfinitywifi” or “CableWiFi” out of the available networks.
