Unfortunately, many rural residents don’t have broadband satellite in their homes. They go without because DSL and cable Internet just isn’t available in many rural areas and because they prefer the less expensive and much slower dial-up Internet over satellite.

Get some details on rural high speed Internet.

Despite this fact, rural residents can still get online at fast speeds if they visit a location that offers it for free. Public facilities and local businesses often create a wireless network, so that guests can get on the web while visiting. Referred to as a “hot spot,’ users can connect once on the premises with a click of the mouse or by entering a password.

If the rural location offering the hot spot relies on broadband satellite, they can create the network with a router. Once they have the network set-up, it’s just a matter of promoting the wi-fi availability to its patrons.

These businesses and organizations often offer free Internet access.

Libraries – More and more libraries now offer free Internet to its members (with a library card). Even if you don’t have a library card you may be able to get online from some libraries.

Coffee shop: Anymore, most coffee shops offer free Internet access. Starbucks set that trend.

Eateries and watering holes: Many quick food eateries like Panera Bread and McDonald’s offer free Internet access. But it doesn’t stop with fast food. Slower paced bars and restaurants now offer high-speed Internet access for free as well. Look for an electrical outlet before you get comfortable, since these are often hard to find. Find out if your Internet access will be limited during their busy times.

Airports, bus stations, train stations – It’s a bit harder to find free Internet at/in airports/airplanes and mass transit stations/trains and buses, but it’s not impossible. Amtrak is one of them and many commuter buslines offer it, too.

How to determine if a location has free wi-fi

1: Check out online review sites like Yelp to find a local spot that has free internet. 2: Simply look on the store or restaurants window for a sticker or sign that advertises free wi-fi. 3 – A wi-fi hotspot detector will tell you if any wi-fi networks are available nearby.
