It was only a couple of years ago that we had no way of staying in contact when travelling beneath the streets of London but one lasting legacy of the 2012 Olympics Games has been Tube WiFi. Provided by Virgin Media, the service began shortly before the launch of the 2012 Games with a handful of stations but is now available in 150 in total.
To mark the occasion, the folks over at Virgin Media have created a rather stylish infographic showing some pretty impressive statistics for WiFi-usage on the Underground. One such stat is that there are now 2.5 million devices registered and there is more than 3 terabytes (1,000 GB) worth of data consumed on the network each day.
The top 10 busiest stations are: Euston, Warren Street, Oxford Circus, Green Park, Bank, Victoria, London Bridge, Waterloo, Canada Water and King’s Cross St. Pancras (which is the busiest station with an average of 50GB data downloaded per day). Unsurprisingly these are all underground where there is no cellular signal.
The six recently added stations include Wimbledon, Morden, Richmond, Barking, Upminster and East Ham. London Underground Wi-Fi is available without charge to Virgin Media broadband and mobile subscribers and EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three customers. Joe Lathan, Director of Broadband at Virgin Media, said:
This is a milestone moment for Virgin Media with 150 Tube stations and more than two and a half million devices now connected to WiFi on London Underground. Tube passengers have loved the WiFi service ever since we launched in time for London 2012. Now they can benefit from live travel information, news and social media in Tube stations across the capital.
Gareth Powell, London Underground’s Director of Strategy and Service Development, said:
WiFi on the Tube is one of many ways we’re improving our customers’ journeys and the service has moved from strength to strength since it launched in time for the London 2012 Olympic Games. We’re delighted that 150 stations on the Tube now have WiFi which will help our customers benefit from live travel information, news and social media while they are on the move across the capital.
