I am so excited that more places are becoming wireless savy! In the past, my Wi-Fire has helped me gain access in areas where I have had trouble getting a clear connection. Now, with more wireless places popping up, I can really put it to use.

I've been using my Wi-Fire in Pittsburgh for a few months now. We have free municipal wireless, but it's only limited to sections downtown. With the Wi-Fire I've been able to connect all over the city and in surrounding parks!
ReplyDeleteI bought it from hfield.com.

Free in the case of Tengonet is still no bargain. We stayed at 2 resorts and paid 30.00 for a months service on Tengonet. The system, in both cases was down more than half the time. When you call tech support they are useless. Their canned response is "WE WILL HAVE TO SEND IT TO LEVEL 2 AND SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU". This time it has been 2 weeks and no call.

Free is relative. We have found that more and more CG's that did offer free WiFi now require membership with a service such as Tengonet, either by the day, week, month or yearly. Not all CG's subscribe to the same service, thus requiring more than one membership. Of course, "free is good" but I have no problem with paying a minimal fee directly to the CG. We do not need constant connectivity, but it really is nice to be able to use the internet from one's site rather than drive around looking for a library or the like to check one's mail.

With the general price increases in campgrounds every where, It is difficult to determine if WIFI is really "free" or if it is a "forced subscription", on every one, whether the want it or not.
ReplyDeleteIn forty years of Rving, I have not found any free lunches in a manner of speaking.
