it depends on your area. have your computer search for a wifi signal. it will usualy show if its a private or business acess. when you try to use a private it will usualy ask for a log in to surf. if it is a business it will ask you to sing in or offer you the ability to purchase their service. i know here in mnneapolis, there is usi wick runs $15 per month anual contract plus one time fees and hardware

Is cheap high speed internet as reliable as expensive high speed internet? Post by in , Post Your Reply

Yes it is. Actaully I use the cheap high speed internet and only pay $20.00 a month and there is hardly ever any downtime. The only draw back is the slower speed. Like if you want to watch a youtube video, it will take longer to buffer and load rather than the fast connection speeds. But as for the gaming side of it there has been no difference, I still get a very low "Ping".
