Default Urgent Wi-fi hotspot help
I have 1 hour and 30 mins before i finish work, so will need some advice asap...

I'm looking to find a free wireless broadband internet hotspot, so i can listen to the Dundee United v. ICT game online, on my laptop, tomorrow afternoon. Preferably in the city centre or george st way...

I know that the Hub in Aberdeen uni has wireless broadband available, but would i need a password/username to access that from my laptop?

Any pubs or cafes that would have this facility?

Any advice is greatlfully received

I've noticed that you can walk into the computer rooms at Aberdeen Uni without having to present any form of ID whatsoever.

Aberdeen Uni's only any use if you've got a username.

Kilau's got free wireless internet now, I'm pretty sure

Ahh... bugger. Thought Aberdeen uni would need a username for wi-fi

Tempted by Kilau though... wonder if they'd be pissed off if i nursed an orange juice for 90mins though, whilst listening to the game on my headphones and getting some schoolwork done?

The Tunnels has password-less wireless... you could nurse a pint for 90 minutes there rather than an OJ

Excellent cheers guys, probably hit Slains since i know a few of the bar staff. I'll text one of them tonight to see if you need a password or the like...

Would've gone to the game if i didn't have to get back sharpish for the gig at the tunnels. Wasna missing Paper Cut Out & Kling Klang for anything
