Use of downtown Raleigh’s free WiFi network, “You R Connected,” has increased by 90 percent since the winter months, according to the Downtown Raleigh Alliance.
This city service, launched last October, is intended for casual use in outdoor public spaces such as City Plaza, Moore Square, Nash Square and Fayetteville Street.
Trends show that from mid-April to mid-May, the network totaled 15,229 sessions and 3,313 unique users. That’s up from an average of 7,979 sessions and 1,831 unique users per month during the winter.
