Every city seems to offer free wifi.  In New York City I was often able to pick up free internet wifi, rather than paying $2 per 10 minutes for it at a cafe.  Often then not all it takes to find free internet wifi is opening up your laptop in a residential area and finding any wifi connections that are not secured.  Even in this day and age there are tons of people who don’t protect their wifi connection and leave it open.  I have yet to find a city without a free wifi connection.

Other methods of getting a free internet wifi is remaining anywhere near an internet cafe, anything but Starbucks.  Starbucks has some special agreement with AT&T making you have to pay for a monthly service fee.  I prefer  internet cafes that are not a massive chain.  These usually all have free internet, often open signals.  If you do need a password, just order a coffee, or if you really are cheap just walk in sit down and ask someone what the password is.

Other ways to find free internet wifi include driving around slowly, hitting refresh on your list of possible internet conections, or even easier is trying Jwire to find an internet connection near you.
