a.ka. crappy free wifi….
On a trip over the labor day weekend, stuck at the airport a little longer than expected and had the wonderful experience of using some free wi-fi. Now you may ask, how can free be bad. Unfortunately, sometimes a bad ad-supported “free” product is far worse for many users like me who would pay a few dollars for a non-adsupported paid version that:
Also, I’ve seen lots of PSAs in my time (occupational hazard in looking at a lot of ads and websites for ads) but at least they could be rotating among different ones instead of the very same one. The service doesn’t let me upload a screenshot right now because it clashes with wordpress here. I blocked the ads but still have to redirect through their proxy to get online.
Ouch – looks like the service is called Freefi, and I can’t link to them either because their system (seems to be iframing the page) and breaks the wordpress links javascript as well. Joys! Hopefully these guys can at least get some paying ads up – don’t annoy people and not even profit yourself!
