How to access Sky hotspots when out & about
Anyone know how to access Sky hotspots when out and about?
sometimes I'm not able to connect to wifi and I'm sure there must be random Sky hotspots dotted around the place.
I don't have the 'thecloud' option when I look for a wifi network nearby like it's suggesting I look for.
just looking for all options for free hotspots/wifi if in areas I can't easily access another. If this is possible 🤔

Re: How to access Sky hotspots when out & about
Unlike BT, Sky Hubs don't broadcast a 'guest' SSID, so there's no national Sky network of WiFi hotspots (BT has millions because a significant percentage of their home users never change the default setting to opt out)
You'll sometimes see The Cloud (but that's pretty much disappeared now and Sky only claims 'thousands' of locations) and a few commercial premises offer a captive portal with Sky branding.
