Head Honcho Posted 12 December 2006 Author Posted 12 December 2006 some places have the bt wireless openzone and you can get credits for that or something or someplaces you can access it for free I'm not likely to take it out with me, just use in the hotel room. So if I'm in a hot spot how do I get connected?

Daggers Posted 12 December 2006 Posted 12 December 2006 Everywhere in the States (where I've been) has provided internet for free...either by wireless or give you a cable to plug on in. There's always been free helpdesk numbers and everything - very cool. The only hotel I've stayed at since coming back to England wanted to charge me on top of my room so I told them to stuff it. Liberty! I've paid for services at airports before, but that was because you're a bit stuffed for alternatives to while away the hours. Have you already got a wireless card Allen? If not you would be best off getting a USB dongle. When you try to log on to a paid for service it will usually go straight to the homepage when you open your browser...this gives you the option to buy a subscription online. For example, Brum now has a wireless service that covers the city centre.
Head Honcho Posted 12 December 2006 Author Posted 12 December 2006 My laptop has wireless so no need for a card or anything. This site is pretty good for finding free hotspot area's http://www.free-hotspot.com/# Very original web address don't ya think
