Re: [Services] WIFI Hotspot

said by heels_fan See Profile :

I just wanted say a little kudos to ATT WIFI.

I was in a small town in NC today.I got a call from the office and had to log into the system at work. I saw a McDs and decided to check out the wifi hotspot there.

I saw the Asst Manager there and asked about the service. She gave me a coupon code to get free access for an hour.

When I opened up my laptop I saw that ATT had an hotspot there. I logged in with my email address and password, and I was online.

I was amazed that ATT already had a hotspot at that McDs since it was in a very small town in a rural part of the state. Being able to get online where I was at saved alot of people alot of money and time.
Thanks ATT
what is the diffrence between the hotspot plan given to the 6.0 customers vs the premier addon?

It's 1.5 meg and higher customers.

If I remember correctly, the Premium service allows roaming on AT&T partner networks and while using the complimentary service you are stuck with the AT&T network. In other words, if you can't find a working AT&T hotspot you are SOL, or pay to use whatever site you can find.

They have a "compare the packages" link on their website if you want to see the differences in their plans.

Most airports, hotels and convention centers are Premium sites.

If your DSL account is in old BellSouth region it is $19.99 a month to access Premium sites- $9.99 a month for other AT&T regions.

I would agree that the free use on their own network is convenient and easy to use- especialy when it's free. Trying to use their Premier sites- which it seems are through roaming agreements- is a nightmare. I tried three different sites and they finally got one to work after about 45 minutes. The other two never did get to work after 2+ hours.

My advice: Use the free service, but don't waste any money on Premier
