I can only speak for the Metro NY (Long island) area. In most towns if you look at available SSIDs you can connect to Wifi from Cablevision and TWC which I believe in Xfinity, not sure. The local cable company's got together and Wifi to cable subscribers.
FIOS does not offer wifi like cable does. I know they offer it in some places but honestly it does not compare to what Cable offers.
Yes, downtown Boston has public wifi too, I think from Comcast/Xfinity, however the city is footing the bill as far as I know.
Go into any pub in London and they offer free wifi, typically from O2, the brewery who hold the pub's license is footing the bill
