kudos:1 | 3000 other hotspots? What happened to the other 3000 hotspots?
Why is this a separate SSID, to pollute the network scan list? | |

AT&T offers a Premier plan that apparently gets you access to partner and roaming hotspots. It would seem these are the 3000 that Qwest, as well as AT&T dsl customers, dont have access to for free. | |

| | Sites One of places that have free wi-fi from AT&T happened to be McDonald's.
If in doubt of where are the free wi-fi sites, you can find out here.

It does cost money to access Wi-fi at any McDonald's

| | | | Re: Sites I just checked their website and it says McDonald's, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble are free. You have to have a qualifying plan to get it which starts at the Basic Plan. If you don't have DSL at home, then yes there is a charge.

| | Anticompetitive Of course, if you get Qwest DSL but use a third party ISP through it, you're not eligible to use this service. Another anticompetitive move. | |
|
| | | Re: Anticompetitive How is this anti-competitive? | |
|
| | | | Re: Anticompetitive This is anticompetitive because Qwest already makes sure that you pay extra -- $10 to $20 per month -- to use a third party ISP. Adding this on top is yet another deterrent to using anyone but them. | |

Council Bluffs, IA | Identity Crisis? So at this point you can get a Landline through Qwest, your TV through Qwest which is through DirecTV, Broadband through Qwest (or a 3rd party provider), Cell phone through Qwest which is through Verizon Wireless, and free Wifi through Qwest which is through at&t effectively.
What else can Qwest still do that they won't do themselves before going out of business? | |
|
| | | Re: Identity Crisis? Well, let's see: they're trying to sell off their long haul fiber network. Which would mean that they couldn't do long distance or an Internet backbone themselves, either. | |

1 edit | So . .. We will be able to get faster internet connections through these WiFi spots than we can at our home using DSL (1.5 Mbps for most) ?
That doesn't look good for Qwest, not that they care. | |
|
| | Nice So Qwest offers a nice value add service to their DSL customers and everyone still complains - gotta love it. | |
