Advert Free WiFi Hotspot Service

Posted on: No Comments

Most people think we’re nuts because we don’t put adverts on our Wi-Fi Hotspot login screens. We probably are.

When we asked our customers what they wanted they said: “Please can we have unlimited free Wi-Fi that’s fast, safe and supported”.

And that’s what you get with PolkaSpots Supafly Wi-Fi. 


Our login screens are free from adverts; we won’t make you sit through hours of terrible videos; we won’t log you out and make you watch another.

If you give your customers what they want, they’ll come. Simple

Wear purple trousers and get noticed

Getting noticed ain’t easy these days. But PolkaSpots Wi-Fi are here to help! A helping hand for the web design freaks out there.


Design us a beautiful Wi-Fi Hotspot login screen and if we like it, we’ll put it up on our worldwide Wi-Fi Hotspot network.

That’s thousands and thousands of page views per day. You never know who might see your design…

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Head over to polkaspots.com/branding to see what we’ve done before
  2. Email your designs to getnoticed@polkaspots.com
  3. Keep your fingers crossed!

Email us if you have any questions. Entries close at the end of July 2010. There are no particular conditions.

      Tweet for free everywhere you go

      Now you can use twitter for free at every PolkaSpots Wi-Fi Hotspot! No need to login, register or look at adverts. Just use it. Even at our paid ones.

      Why have we done this? Because people love twitter and people love PolkaSpots too.

      Because it’s free, you’ll get loads of new customers using your Wi-Fi Hotspot too!

      9% Love, 80% Service. The rest is a mystery.

      It’s not easy to explain what you receive when you join the PolkaSpots family. It’s a bit like trying to explain what love is. You can’t define it with words: you have to experience it.

      Our customers know it’s about all about the PolkaSpots Service but new ones often don’t understand. So we decided the best way to let you know was with a pie chart. It is the exam season after all.

      With PolkaSpots Wi-Fi Hotspots, it’s about the service you receive and not just the box that arrives. Obviously we care a lot about the hardware, we just don’t think this is the most important bit.

      Free Wi-Fi Access at US Starbucks

      It’s proven that cafes that offer free Wi-Fi attract more customers and generate extra revenue. If you needed more proof, Starbucks are in the process of rolling out a completely free Wi-Fi network in the USA.

      Would one of the world’s largest organisations invest in this if it had no purpose or didn’t attract customers?

      Thanks to re-ality for the great snap…

      Sob Story for Public Wi-Fi Hotspots

      After a day of meetings in central London, I’m exhausted by the lack of public Wi-Fi Hotspots (that actually work).

      Scanning the airwaves revealed dozens of networks. 99% were private and protected by passwords. The rest were commercial Wi-Fi hotspots – shame none of them actually worked; other than the one in The British Library.

      We have lots of Wi-Fi Hotspots around the UK but none in the areas I was in today. Turns out you need a million or more like BT to actually provide nationwide Wi-Fi coverage. Shame hardly any of those work either!

      If you have a cafe, bar or hotel in King’s Cross why not give us a call?

      New PolkaSpots Wi-Fi Hotspot boxes

      Perfect for your cafe’s Wi-Fi Hotspot. Or hotel, bar, restaurant or other public space for that matter.
