wi-fi hotspots

[Tpcboston]

Does Verizon have a network of identifiable public wi-fi hotspots similar to the network of hot spots operated by the major cable companies?

They use to have at certain locations. But that was many years ago.

i don’t think they have them anymore.

Verizon once had one of the largest such networks.  Then abandoned or sold them and for a while offered free Boingo.  I am not sure if they still offer Boingo (now being Frontier). 

Most have abandoned their select wifi spots.  Instead favoring stealing some ot their customers wifi capability to make the home/bussiness routers act as wi-fi "hot" spots. 

Customers then lose speed and pay for the power to let the ISP run "hot" spots.
