about five years ago I finally got fed up with all the so called free WIFI places...
I now use the VERIZON MIFI unit which creates its on WIFI HOT SPOT and works anywhere you get VERIZON CELL PHONE SERVICE which is just about everywhere...
This MIFI Hot Spot can connect to five of my devices all at the same time. Perfect for my two portable laptop computers and my two tablets. We check in with kids everynight, pay bills, do some surfing of the internet.
My MIFI plan is only a small 3GB datatplan but bigger dataplans are available.
Sure is nice to always have secure connectivity just about anywhere we go.
