   PHL Free WiFi Access Tip: You can gain Free WiFi access near the food court and retail shops! Outlets are available through out the airport. Look for them on the posts near the seats and the pay phones.

   9-30-10. I tried to access their AT&T WiFi in A terminal and around the food court. I could find and connect to the WiFi but there was no Internet connection. I talked to several other travelers having the same problem and ask the in-helpful info desk people but no solution. I’ll even pay to have access but there seems to be no WiFi at PHL.

   I have found two different wifi at PHL Airport. They are attwifi(low case) and Free Public Airport Access. The attwifi looks setup with all information with internet access, but there is still no internet connection. The Free Public Airport Access looks like a hacker because there is only an ip address and subnet mask, no gateway or dns for internet access. I have also read on some sites that PHL only opens up Internet Access for students only or you have to pay for the service (7.95 per day).

   PHL has alway provide the WORST customer service and the MOST negative attitude toward travelers, esp the female Security helpers that are supposed to guide people in line. I have seen one helper scream at a mother to stay in line who was traveling with 3 young kids. With DELTA tickters, I have seen a woman chew a guy out because he is supposed to know all his connecting flights, and this is the first time he flown.

   Huh. Seats with power adaptive everywhere, the phl website says they have free wifi here. There’s no Internet access via wifi, only the signals from people’s mifi.

   My iPad is picking up the attwifi signal, but there is no access. Not sure why they bother having the signal if one can’t do anything with it. I was online at BOS two hours ago with no problems.

    Horrible wifi at PHL! tmobile and attwifi both show up as available. I was able to connect via tmobile, but service was very spotty. Connection through attwifi was non-existent.

    Also, AT&T 3g was spotty. My Ipad could connect, but lost connection many times.

    The most reliable connection was Verizon 3g. I turned my cell phone into a hotspot, and could finally do something on the internet. It stinks I have to drain my cell phone battery to get connected to the internet at PHL. It’s one of the least-wired airports I’ve been to in awhile.
