Feature request: Map of EE WiFi coverage boost hotspots

I have found the EE WiFi coverage boost hotspots really helpful in areas of poor coverage, but I would like a way to locate my nearest hotspot. I understand these are sometimes residential BT WiFi hotspots so privacy is an issue but an approximate location would still be useful. Are there any plans to either integrate a map of these into the My EE app or add an option to search for these at btwifi.co.uk/find

Hi @Theo77 

Welcome to the community.

Your phone will automatically connect to these hotspots if you have WiFi Boost set up. I'm not aware of any plans for a map, but that's a great suggestion.

Hi @Christopher_G, In the article you linked it says that Pay as you go customers can access it whereas pay monthly customers can only access WiFi on the Underground. I am a pay monthly customer and can access this so can you please let the relevant team know that this article needs updating?

It says

If you're an EE pay monthly customer with a WiFi-enabled device, you can get WiFi on the London Underground, unless your account is in arrears or has been classified as a bad debt.

and

If you're an EE pay as you go customer with a WiFi-enabled device, you can get WiFi on the London Underground and in 150,000 locations across the UK if you've topped up your account with at least £5 within the last 30 days. You'll need to text

Morning @Theo77 

Thanks for sharing, we will certainly feed this back to the relevant team to see if the Help page can be updated 🙂

This would be great but my phone does not allow me to save the EE WiFi-Auto settings unless it connects to that WiFi so it would be useful to know where there is one so that I can set it up when in the area.

@Yogizer : WiFi Coverage Boost is only a sub-set of EE WiFi.
