Chapter 8: Traveling with MacBook > Connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi

Connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi

In most cases, an Internet account that you purchase is associated with a time period, such as an hour, day, or month. When the period expires, you have to renew your account. If you travel to multiple places where the same provider offers service, consider purchasing a monthly account because those are less expensive than hourly or daily accounts. Some providers offer many hotspots in different locations, so having a monthly account can be a convenient way to obtain Internet access as you travel.

Also, some accounts enable you to access networks from different providers, which have agreed to “share users.” When you sign up for an account, check to see what other providers allow you to access the Internet with your account, especially if you are considering a monthly account.
