Supermarket chain Tesco has today confirm that its free wireless internet access ( Wi-Fi ) service is now available at stores nationwide. The move follows a successful July 2011 trial at 4 out of its 2,700 branches in the UK (here).

A related survey found that 82% of Tesco's Extra store customers would definitely use the service again, while everybody claimed to find it "easy to use". Some 71% of customers accessed the Wi-Fi via a Smartphone, 11% via a tablet and 9% on a Laptop.


The Wi-Fi also allows users to access their Tesco Clubcard account online to check their points and receive e-vouchers. Speaking of which, it's important to note that only Clubcard holders get unlimited access; everybody else is restricted to just 15 minutes (in any 24 hour period). Telefónica UK ( O2 ) provides the service.
