Free Wireless/Wi-Fi Network
The City of Hamilton offers free wireless/wi-fi network (listed as “Hamilton_Guest”), which is open to all visitors free of charge.
The City of Hamilton recognizes that the internet is an essential means of communication, and an invaluable informational, educational and economic tool that should be accessible to all Hamiltonians. Access to affordable, reliable high-speed internet connectivity is critical to our community in order to access services and information, work remotely, access online learning or operate a business. High speed broadband availability across Hamilton is a key economic driver and is central to economic growth and job creation in our community.
Improving access to internet and supporting investments in broadband services that support working and learning from home beyond the pandemic is a strategic priority for the City of Hamilton Council and highlighted in the 2021-2025 Economic Development Action Plan.
