Time Warner Cable launching free Wi-Fi service for NYC customers

There's finally something to praise about concerning Time Warner Cable. The cable provider is launching a free Wi-Fi network across New York City for its approximately one million customers in the metropolitan area.

And that is only free for New York City-based customers, who will be able to login using the Road Runner username and password associated with the account.

Time Warner says they are launching "thousands" of Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the region, which are designated on the company's website. More will pop up soon.
