   I have three options for wifi, in no order.
   My account at Marshall, which is used when on campus such as when I'm
working.  Uh, well on campus anyway.  :)
   The city has free wifi in selected areas, with no PW.
   Comcast has a city wide wifi with your Comcast USID/PW.
   The last two are not always available.  I think if the wind is blowing
from a certain direction or if a bird flies in a certain area it cuts out the
signal.  :)
   When I was on my trip some cities I could get a "Cable Wifi" option.  I
tried that and if the user has a cable subscription (there was a menu of
cable systems) and put in their USID/PW it worked.
   That popped up on my phone one time here.  Never saw it before nor
since.
