I believe I saw news on the TV saying that Toronto hydro will provide free wifi on the central downtown area in Toronto. (not sure whether they have it now)

However, I seldom went downtown ever since my company moved from downtown Toronto to another city north of Toronto 7 years ago. And if I go downtown, then most likely will be a family event and I will not bring my laptop with me.

I was told some MacDonald and Starbucks here in Toronto uptown provide wifi service but I don't know much about the detail.

I did saw one Coffee Time (or second cup not sure which one) near my office did provide wifi service but when I asked them, they say I have to sign up a plan with Rogers (the cable/internet company here) in order to use the wifi service.

The same thing happened last Oct when I was in London (UK), I went to a Starbucks and they say that they have wifi service, but I have to buy a prepaid airtime in order to use it.

How about in your region? Is that Wifi is really free?
