I have such a bad experience with Bell's 1x network. It's just not possible to keep under the 4mg/$25 plan. Their guildline for 1meg equivalent usage is outrage. Forget that. I am looking into wi-fi hot spots as an alternative. Can someone with wi-fi experience help me with these questions? How do I get this wi-fi connection at hot spots? Who is billing you for the use and how much do they charge you for each use? Thanks!

Some hotspots are free, while others charge anywhere from $2.95 for 20 minutes to $30 per month. You subscribe, as you do with an ISP, and use your credit card.
