randy · 19 years ago

ayala malls has no free wifi…i mean mallwide as in no free wifi. and i think the ayalas require their tenants to subscribe to globe broadband kaya ang mga airborne access dyan sorry na lang at wala tayo future dyan. add’nl free wifi at festival mall compex area. (computer section).

r abad · 19 years ago

Total gas station rest stop along South Super Hi-way near Calamba. Good radio signal in Seattle’s Best, Via Mare, etc. Don’t know the exact loc though but might be Google-able. Also, Rossi Yogo frozen yogurt bar in Mall of Asia. Not totally free as you need to buy something before they give you the passphrase to WEP. Quiet, lots of tables and available power outlets on the walls. They have 3 free internet terminals for non-wifi users. Good place to hang-out and surf the web while enjoying the yogurt.

I’ve used my Zyxel wifi finder and found 6 wide open(unsecured) wifi connection in AIM Hotel Lobby.

Chic2EnVy · 19 years ago

i’m planning to buy my own laptop (dell inspiron E1405 or dell inspiron E1505,, so i’m hoping i could get a free wifi connection at starbucks here at rcbc mkt.. hope i could enjoy connections as you do guys… :-)

piCo · 19 years ago

Here’s a few more that I know of:

Daungan Poolside Restaurant, Mo. Ignacia, QC (at Danara Hotel)… for swim, dine and wifi experience :)
All Galleria Malls.
Starbucks c/o Chinabank across Citibank Makati.
Someone said Gateway has one too.

if you have DSL in your store and need FREE consulting on setting up wifi there, give me a buzz. I’d be happy to help set up ANOTHER FREE wifi hotspot.

More power to FREE wifi… !!!

Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino is now officially a 100% Hot Spot Hotel. Earlier this year, it launched its “Do You Have Free Time Today?” Campaign, offering FREE internet time in the Lobby Lounge, all the restaurants at the Gourmet Walk and all its function rooms in the Lobby Level. No hitch. Absolutely free.

Now Waterfront recently inked a partnership with PLDT, giving all of its 561 guest rooms Broadband Wireless Internet Access.

Now guests can be online anytime, anywhere in Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino!

ardie · 20 years ago

I tried in robinsons pioneer it’s free guys and easy to connect I haven’t try in galleria.

seav · 20 years ago

Has anybody successfully used Galleria’s free Wi-Fi recently? I haven’t been able to connect for the last two times I tried to. Buti na lang na-sulit ko yung yung 1-hour AA card ko–due to a glitch in the matrix, umabot ng halos 3 hours. :D

vegasfilamguy · 20 years ago

Are there really any free wifis near greenbelt area in makati? The ones on the list don’t seem to work!

If anyone knows any near that area, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ardie · 20 years ago

hi nadine which pier one near in abs?

Nadine · 20 years ago

hmmm passed by Pier One The Fort yesterday, and there was no WiFi signal.

Ace · 20 years ago

@ardie:
wifi is just some kind of LAN that is wireless. So the internet speed really depends on the type of connection on the server of that wireless LAN. Wifi will be faster if the network has a lease line or business type of connection which can be seen on corporate or commercial networks. BTW, wifi has a speed of 54 Mbps on the network(most common), although the latest protocols can support up to 100 Mbps or beyond.

Ardie · 20 years ago

Hi J. angelo I have a question what if if your using ur laptop everyday and of course you need to recharged every 3 hours is there possible to decrease the battery life of your laptop? and how many year will take long for the battery of compq presario or it depends in the brand of laptop tnx..

“HI there J. Angelo Racoma where in maginhawa does have an wifi free access”

One, in front of my place (that’s near JMX computers–and no, I don’t own the shop).

Two, near mini-stop. My bro says there’s a cafe there that has WiFi. Haven’t tried it out yet, though.

Three, Belcap building, where Equitable PCI is situated. Used that once. It’s open-access. Don’t know who owns it though (does the fact that I accidentally gained admin access to the router menas I own–or rather pwn–it? Heheh).

There may be others, as Maginhawa is a long, long road. What about Kalayaan Ave? There’s Airborne Access at Mocha Blends Malakas St. (near Heart Center).

Ardie · 20 years ago

HI there J. Angelo Racoma where in maginhawa does have an wifi free access, even if you in outside of the establishment do u still have an wifi access or you need to go inside of that? you said there’s an wifi access in barangay hall near mini stop right? coz i near there not pretty much near actually i’m from teacher’s village near in kamayan if u know that place.. hope to hear from u.. you can e-mail me @ 0916*******.

sarah · 20 years ago

murphy’s along esteban cor. herrera in makati has free wifi. so does alexa’s deli in salcedo village, h.v. de la costa street.

Nick · 20 years ago

Confirmed myself:
Starbucks G4 is NOT free. You have to buy a Wiz Globequest card.

J. Angelo Racoma · 20 years ago

Am connected via a “linksys” network right now at the Luisa building (where Belcap and Equitable savings bank are located) along Maginhawa street in Teachers Village (also near the barangay hall / Mini Stop).

Not a very strong signal, but bearable. Someone must be ok with sharing his/her office WiFi. Either that, or they don’t know how to configure their network (the “linksys” name suggests so). Just a block away, I’m sharing my WiFi access myself!

kikotampoc · 20 years ago

i have a dell axim x51v.. pano po ba isetup to para makapagaccess ako ng free wifi…

Miguel · 20 years ago

yuga is teh SEO g0d. I googled “wifi hotel reviews” – looking for WiFi all around the world – and landed here!

Yamby · 20 years ago

San po sa SM San Lazaro may wifi hotspot? :-D

SHRWNB · 20 years ago

is paid wifi access better than 3g in terms of cost?
hope we can have more free hotspots.

moonpool · 20 years ago

Hi! I just wanted to find out if the Wi-Fi in Shangri-la Plaza is still free… Because when we tried connecting, it was asking for a username and password… Thanks!

rain021 · 20 years ago

Buong SM san lazaro yung may wifi? anywhere dun?

J. Angelo Racoma · 20 years ago

Philcom at Cyberzone is dead. I’ve leeched borrowed signal from a certain “SpeedTouch2475E8” WiFi G access point, though (AA wasn’t connecting at that time). Whoever you are, thank you!

Louie Victor · 20 years ago

Are there any in Alabang/Muntinlupa/Paranaque Areas?

Great idea. Thanks for the list. We should make it a wiki, though. Easier to maintain.

Miguel · 20 years ago

Does anyone have a GPS receiver? Let’s put these on a Google Map.

Thanks for the list. Quite handy for the business I am in.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 20 years ago

Thanks for the info Migs. I’m here at Masas in Greenbelt 2 using free wifi. I can also see one from Templebar but it’s on WEP.

Miguel · 20 years ago

Confirmed myself:
1. Baang Coffee Shop, Timog. It’s like a computer lab, half of the tables have laptops.
2. Starbucks Ash Creek Center, Ortigas Avenue (near Xavier School/Mary the Queen Church) – free WiFi provided by Cooltoyz laptop store.
