You sent an email that took 30 minutes? Or you sent your email and then make a skype call that lasted 30 minutes?
From what I understand, the email probably took a couple minutes to complete, but the wifi wasn't completely turned off by finding the "turn off" button/switch/area, even though the connection was terminated (computer shut down) ... so the wifi continued to charge for use until its minimum 30 minutes was completed. And this was not made easily understandable by the agreement for use.
I would assume (as the original poster probably did) that shutting off your computer and not using the wifi anymore would be enough to stop being charged for use. I am a little surprised hearing about this these days, as a system like this seemed to be much more common years (decades?) ago when wifi and internet were newer - most newer systems just charge for actual use.
Anyways, thank you to the original poster for the reminder to be aware and alert to how internet connection systems might be charging you.
