Verizons hot spots are in specific locations such as a coffee shop or hotel lobby (708 hot spots in all of New York State) where as Optimums WiFi "zones" are set up to blanket entire areas. WiFi community zones are available in shopping centers, on main streets and train platforms, in parks, marinas, and at sports fields - the places you go everyday. An Optimum WiFi community zone can be made up of any number of access points, depending on the size of the public space. Sometimes just one will do for a small park, other times many may be called upon to provide coverage for a large downtown area. Each community zone is uniquely designed for Optimum coverage in the specified area. The last count I heard was that Optimum had over 8,000 hot spots in its footprint while still adding more as time goes on. The two systems are distinctly different.

The Verizon hot-spot locator allows me to search for a hot-spot, town by town. The Optimum site shows me the actual footprint of their WiFi network. If I could get a footprint I could easily compare the two. Thanks for the heads up on the extensive Verizon network.

If you are an Optimum Online customer you can access it anywhere in the Cablevision footprint which is all of Long Island, parts of Brooklyn and the Bronx, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey and up the Hudson Valley, NY. It is available anywhere you would be away from home such as main roads, retail and commercial areas, places of interest such as parks & boat marinas and auto service centers. Cablevision Wi-Fi is also available in the waiting areas, station platforms and parking areas of the Long Island Rail Road. They currently have a bid in to launch it on all of the LIRR and Metro-North trains. Cablevisions Wi-Fi network is not only available on Long Island.
