T-Mobile has different packages. I chose the "pay as you go" plan. $6.00 for the first 60 minutes and then .10 a minute.
Bastards! It was FREE for the past 2 years and now they find another way to take your money.

1. It's been that way for at least a year
But fear not, there are plenty of free spots around still.

Try heading over to your nearest Arby's. A lot of their locations still have free high-speed wi-fi, and their new chicken strips are terrific. They are a heck of a lot better (and better for you) than that pricy carbo pastry garbage that Starbucks sells.

3. AND they're a blue company.
Always a good thing.

4. I did not know that
And it just so happens, I feel a hankering for the "Big Montana" roast beef sandwich about now!

2. Don't know if you have Dunn Bros out there
It's a coffee shop chain, and they still have free wi-fi, too. :hi:

5. Nothing is free in this country anymore.
Seriously. I cant wait until some asshole starts charging you for the thoughts in your own head.
