I dunno where else has them, but here all the starbucks have them, it's a wireless network, just show up with your wireless card and pay their monthly service fee and your on the net at the local starbucks. Well anyhow, it seemed nifty so I checked the prices, $39.99 a month for the unlimited service, seems like a bit much, certainly more then my poor *** can afford, but everytime I go to starbucks I see several people using it.

Do you have a wireless card? Might wanna check out http://www.netstumbler.com/ if you do. Should be able to show you just by driving around where there are wireless hot spots.

Few weeks ago, all starbucks were giving away free internet access. I know the one down by my apt I can jack internet from the surounding offices. Why pay when people don't know how to secure down their sites?
