McDonalds Free Wifi

As someone who may be SOL when my Alltel unlimited (NO CAP!) broadband contract expires next summer, this news is welcome. I'd love to keep my wireless account but the idea of babysitting a stupid 5G cap on a family of four is just insane...especially for $60 a month.

I desperately hope LTE will give me a better choice.

Re: McDonalds Free Wifi

Can you get Sprint or T-Mobile? if you can get T-Mobile you have options...

Re: McDonalds Free Wifi

Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile don't reach me. The *only* choices I have are Verizon Wireless, Wildblue (AAAGH!) or (Hughesnet).

Re: McDonalds Free Wifi

That sucks. Have you tried a parabolic grid antenna setup to see if you can pull in a weak Sprint signal from elsewhere? May cost you as much as a WB install but you may be able to get enough signal to make an unlimited Sprint plan worthwhile.

About Mickey D's...

Hate to say a cliché, but i'm lovin' it, despite the crappy food. Hopefully they'll have more than a T1 running into each restaurant.

Re: About Mickey D's...

In NYC I found it was a Verizon DSL connection at a McD franchise (most McDs are franchises), dating back to the wayport era (but it was AT&T branded by then). Barnes and Noble wifi is ATT CLEC (12.x.x.x IP) T1.
