What’s with all the dinosaurs?

Turns out, the Internet’s pretty dull… Trying to figure out what we could use to represent such things as Wi-Fi, we realised that it’s what you do with it that counts.

We love the Internet, we love giving it away and we love the fact that you can look up really interesting things, like dinosaurs!

This is what we think a PolkaSaurus-rex might look like

Wanted – Dead or Alive

Have you seen this PolkaSpots Wi-Fi Hotspot box?

Wi-Fi hotspot provider recalls small batch of wifi hotspots

3 months of age, 20cm in height. Weight 300g. White in colouring, two pointy ears. Clearly branded: Pronto Point 802.11n.

What happened? Around 10% of the Wi-Fi Hotspots we shipped in Q1 2011 (around 40 in total) developed a fault that prevented users from getting online.

We are replacing these boxes with brand new PolkaSpots 802.11n Wi-Fi Hotspot controllers. Free of charge.

Your replacement controller will be shipped to you in a matter of days. All you need to do is send the old one back in the envelope provided.

Android User Update

Last month we noticed a slight decrease in Android usage on our Wi-Fi Network. Moreover, we received some messages through our support portal…

On further investigation, we discovered a new software update to the Android platform was preventing some devices from being assigned an IP address by our Hotspot system.

This prevented some users from going online and using our network.

We’ve now patched the problem and will be releasing a full fix over the next couple of weeks. Most of our Hotspots have been updated but a few may have been omitted.

If you’re experiencing such issues, contact us on 020 7183 1471

Mobile Device Usage Up in 2011

We keep a close eye on the devices used at our Wireless Hotspots – this way we can make sure everyone’s browsing experience is slick, fast and secure.

During Q1 2011, Windows users were down 17% over the same period last year. However, we saw iPhone usage increase by a massive 86%.

It’s interesting that all iPhones are equipped with 3g data connectivity… Will the operators ever upgrade their network or are they going to permanently offload on to Wi-Fi Hotspot Providers, like PolkaSpots?
