Walmart Internet Hot Spots

Walmarts are now allowing free internet access from their locations. We've seen this on a few stores up until recently. Now all the stores I've had a chance to check have the service available. Speeds seem good, although not what I'd call lightning fast, and I have not had any problems connecting.

If you read the Walmart terms of service agreement you'll see that they say they will limit service to certain sites. We've found this appears to include sites with the word "gun" in it someplace and probably some of the porno sites. If you can live with the minimal restrictions, give it a try. Lowes Home improvement centers also has free hotspots available and I've not run into any site restrictions when using their system. Both Walmart and Lowes seem to have good reception in the further reaches of their parking lots, so even if you just want to pop in to check your email, you shouldn't have any trouble.

Thank you Walmart and Lowes.
