FYI, this story is more than a year old

The Auckland Council partnered with Australasian Wi-Fi services provider Tomizone in 2011 to expand the central city’s wireless network ahead of the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

The network generates more than 20 million minutes of free Wi-Fi usage every month.

The service is free to all users up to 1GB per day, per device, across more than 60 zones across the city, the majority of the zones being services with a fibre connection.

The free Wi-Fi service is available in several locations across the central city and the city fringe, including Kingsland, Mt Eden Village, Onehunga, and several transport hubs around Auckland.
