Mobile operator Vodafone<\/a> UK has quietly dropped support for Virgin Media<\/a>’s (VMO2) Wi-Fi network on the London Underground, which means that customers who want to get online with this wireless broadband service will now have to pay for a pass instead of connecting for free (1 day = \u00a33, 1 Week = \u00a35 or 1 Month = \u00a315).<\/p>\n

At present around 260 London Underground<\/strong> stations are covered with WiFi<\/a> as a result of Virgin Media<\/a>’s deployment some years ago, which was also made available to customers of Vodafone<\/a>, EE<\/a> and O2<\/a> via way of a wholesale agreement (customers of VM can of course also benefit). Meanwhile, anybody else has to pay for a special pass.<\/p>\n

However, a number of Vodafone<\/a>’s customers recently noticed that they could no longer access the service, which prompted one of their support agents to issue the following response via Twitter (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Vodafone’s Twitter Support said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We have taken the decision not to continue our WiFi<\/a> service on the London Underground. We continue to supply 4G<\/a> on the Jubilee Line between North Greenwich and Westminster as part of our partnership with London Underground.<\/p>\n

We also continue to invest in our network above ground across London, with coverage improvements at key stations, including Charing Cross, London Bridge and Waterloo in particular.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The move makes sense given the work they’re doing on the Jubilee Line (here<\/a>). On the other hand, Transport for London<\/a> (TfL) has previously stated that their ambition is to extend such 4G<\/a> services across the whole of the Underground (tube trains) network, but this won’t be complete until the “mid-2020s<\/em>” (c.2025).<\/p>\n

As one of several disgruntled customers said in response, “Why didn’t you tell us, We pay for a service and this was part of the services available. Of course, if I’d known, I would have changed provider. I only found out when I asked at a station<\/em>.”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A related report (here<\/a>) suggests that Vodafone might have started to drop WiFi<\/a> support on the underground two months ago, although people only recently started to notice after they began returning to work. Meanwhile, Virgin Media<\/a>’s WiFi page continues to list Vodafone as being supported (here<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
