TA WiFi Hotspots
This is a price list, but seems to me, as a account holder, you get this slightly cheaper...unless they recently raised the rates.
Flying J WiFi Hotspots
Above are a couple links to WiFi services. Petro uses ....SiriCOMM Wi-Fi...
and most Motels offer free hookup, as are some Reststops.
States are offering free WiFi hookups at more and more Reststops now to encourage Travelers to stop, and take a break. Logging on to see weather ahead, tourist locations, resturants, etc.
The disadvantage to TS WiFi is you must be in the TS to go online. Not every TS has WiFi...and some that do, have poor signals. Of course...those are areas...even cell phones tend to be sketchy.
I like the TS WiFi...because it's cheaper, and I can use my TS Fuel Card Rewards to pay for it. I usually have a hundred or more dollars on most of my Cards...and I never seem to need anything out of the TS Stores. You really..really get tired of TS crap, after awhile. :?
I would have an AirCard ....like say Sprint...if I could use the service at home. But I live so far North...I don't have Sprint service up here. We have Nextel or Alltel. I'm even on the edge of a dozen dead zones. You have to wear a tinfoil hat and stick your middle finger in the air...to get a signal. Your calls drop a lot...but you learn to just keep talking, and forget about it. :evil:
Advantage of the AirCards is you can go online anywhere you can get a decent cell signal.
My outlook is...I run so hard when I'm driving...only time I even have an interest for online is when I finally settle down at a TS, and have eatten, showered and have a couple hours to fool around before I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. All I seem to do online anyway...is answer a couple emails...and so what I have a cell phone.
Or I come here and chat.
I like being on the road to break my addiction of this place. I really need to cold Turkey...but it's soooo hard to do. Right now I want to log off...but I just can't. :cry:
I'm soooo weak. :cry:
I have nooo life. :cry: :cry: :evil:
