Xfinity WiFi Hotspots open to all until November 7th

I received the below message this morning from Xfinity that they are opening up access to their WiFi Hotspots to non customers until November 7th to help residents cope with the aftermath of hurricane Sandy.

Our thoughts are with all of those impacted by hurricane Sandy. To help residents and emergency personnel cope with the aftermath of the storm, Comcast is opening up its XFINITY WiFi hotspots in the affected markets to anyone who needs them – including non-Comcast subscribers. Comcast owns and operates thousands of WiFi hotspots in Comcast service areas in PA, NJ, DE, MD, DC, VA, WV, MA, NH and ME. Non-XFINITY Internet customers should search for the “xfinitywifi” network name and click on the “Not a Comcast subscriber?” link at the bottom of the Sign In page. Then select the “Complimentary Trial Session” option from the drop down list. Users will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every 2 hours through Wednesday November 7th. For a map of XFINITY WiFi hotspots, which are located both indoors and outdoors in malls, shopping districts, parks, and train platforms, please visit www.xfinity.com/wifi (Note: Complimentary XFINITY WiFi service may not be available in Partner WiFi Hotspot locations).

Xfinity recently activated one of these WiFi hotspots in the building I work in.  It has been great for me as I am always connected at work for faster web browsing and my battery lasts much longer since the phone is not always searching for a 3G signal.
