    Just went to renew the monthly internet access at pilot 255 in Bloomington il found out they have doubled the price from 19.99 to 39.99 with the same slow speeds and poor conditions in the lot. Guess I'll have to find a new place to stop now

    I used it once and decided it was junk.
    I also use my phone as Hotspot.

    Not sure why anybody would consider paying for it.

    PT. Barnum once said, A sucker born every second.
    That fits, to those who continually pay for wifi service that may or may not work.

    So it's confirmed the new "upgraded" wifi isn't anything better? I haven't had to use it for a while, been stopping in good service.

    especially the pilot.they have poor quality on things bought from the shelf why would their internet be any different.I use free wify for my laptop and I never have any real problems.it's hi speed I very rearly get disconnected.if you're going to pay for internet might as well buy a monthly card from Wal-Mart and use it basically anywhere rather then only at the pilot.as much as they make daily they could provide free wify but I know that's unheard of for the pilot loves ta.
