Starbucks to Offer High-Speed Internet

JavaFox · Sep 8, 2002, 03:51 PM

Those without broadband services in their area now have some hope. If you live within a mile of a Starbucks --and, really, who doesn't?-- you can now get a 1.5Mbps WiFi (802.11b) connection for a meager $30 a month. The catch? Starbucks only allows you 500MB of data transfer per month (16.67MB a day).

With the price of their coffee they should be giving it away free!

There's no way I can live with 16.67 MB a day! I need gigs

Considering I've transferred terrabytes of data on my broadband connection - don't plan on seeing me at Starbucks with my laptop any time soon.

Who doesn't? The closet one I know if is about 57 miles from me. I could be wrong though.

damn shaith,

I do webstie hosting and have well over 800 websites hosted on well over 50 PC'S dedicated and sharded and my 11.5Mbit connection does not even do that much transfer...

So what are you doing? hehe
