According to the Ofcom accredited price comparison site, Cable.co.uk, currently the total number of Wi-Fi stations on the London Underground network is 38 which includes Stratford, Southfields and Paddington.

He also added that super fast broadband connectivity is very essential for existing as well as new businesses for it will help businesses to capture new markets and create new jobs.
