Wifi Hotspots - best prices...?

[gazzab]

Hi - will be without a telephone line and broadband for at least 2 weeks but possibly 2 months thanks to BT ! Having moved house they have really c0cked it up. I also dont have a mobile signal. Great , not.
My wife has a laptop and wishes to use hot spots to check mails and check propery web sites. She will probably want to do this four or fives times a week for an hour or two each time. Our nearest town is Godalming.
What are the options ? Open Zone, Cloud etc and then sit in a cafe?
Is there a list of truely free ones? Or shall I drive round looking for an open personal connection and try and use that !!?!?

Local library may well have open public access.

yes and if your lucky there may be a cafe also. I had to resort to library earlier this year, it was pretty good considering it was free - I had to re-log on every 30 mins, but I could have booked an open session if needed - You just have to battle past the silver surfers!

it may be cheaper and more convenient to get a datacard from your mobile provider.

I travel nearly full-time on business and have a BT Openzone account - thats about £12.50 per month for 250 minutes ...to be honest I only use it airports and such like.

I also have a Vodafone datacard and thats on a £25 per month for 250MB contract...and of course you can just sit at home then
