Why should I pay for WiFi when I can just use free signals?
While some organizations offer reliablefree signals (the Boston Public Library, for example, offers free WiFi services to those holding BPL cards), in general, you get what you pay for. Many free signals come from an open unsecured connection offering you no protection from hackers. There is no guarantee that the free signals will be on or how strong they will be. You cant rely on the location of the signal. You cant expect to get any support help from whoever is providing the free signal. Some locations will not allow outgoing e-mail to be sent via their SMTP server. If the provider of the free signal is engaged in any type of illegal activities, you could find yourself being investigated for use of that free signal.
