Boingo Wireless

"Opt- out SCAM - BEWARE!" on by RAW
Pros: It generally works in seedy MacDonald's locations when you're down and out.
Cons: Abysmal customer service.
Access points rarely work outside establishment, who wants MacD and Starbucks anywayz?Summary: When flying, I was able to get free wi-fi at Denver airport. In Miami, it was Boingo. It appeared to be a fair deal, but wireless in captive areas should be free or accessible by direct cash transaction, so you don't need to involve a revolving credit account.
If I had any idea that it would take over an hour to discontinue account , as a result of their opt-out obfuscation, they would have not obtained my business.
Easy to join. Extremely hard to stop charges to your credit card account. Expect over half hour wait on phone for abysmal "customer care."
If you don't want to go into establishments Boingo rarely works well in parking lot or nearby. Only one access point in Dominican Republic and none in Haiti.
