    Hmm
    Well guess I don't keep up with it for the most part anyways.

    I have an old unlimited VZW Plan and use the Hotspot on my phone.

    Did you call/complain?
    Sometimes they will give you another 24h for Free or whatever.
    Now that I think about it....Wandering Wifi owes me like 24 hours for free from way back..
    They can keep it though ;)

    if you have a smart phone, have you cell provider activate the mobil hot spot located in the settings.
    It's been years since i have had to use a truck stop wifi service, that may or may not work, even if your parked 50 feet from the building

    It is, until about 7 PM. After that, you're not getting anything with all the parked truckers trying to get their pr0n fix.

    Some of the ma & pa truckstops might have free wifi, like everyone already mentioned, the large chains you'll have to pay to use. Pilot charges about $5/day, $20/month, or $150/year. But their system is a line of sight setup meaning, if you can't see the antenna, don't expect to pick up a good signal. And like MsJamie said, expect the bandwidth to go down as the truckstop fills up.

    I hooked up to TA wifi in North Bend, WA. Worked 90% of the time but the signal wasn't stable enough for video watching, pr0n or otherwise. Worked for websites which is what I needed.
