Mobile Hotspots
Mobile hotspots allow you to connect to wireless data networks and share your cellular connection with your laptop, desktop, or other computing devices. Mobile data plans aren't cheap, but surprisingly, there's at least one that is free.
FreedomPop offers a number of Internet access plans that make use of a mobile hotspot to connect to their cellular data network. Plans range from free to around $75.00 per month. All of the plans make use of FreedomPop's 4G/LTE network, and have various monthly data caps associated with them.
ISP Provided Hotspots
If you already have an Internet service provider, chances are it offers access to company-owned or affiliated Wi-Fi hotspots around town and around the country.
This type of Wi-Fi hotspot can be found not only at business and public locations, but, in some cases, entire communities or neighborhoods may be part of the hotspot.
Access is via a standard Wi-Fi connection; no special hardware or software is usually required. While connection speeds can vary, they're almost always as good as the average service plan speed offered by an ISP. That means connection speeds of 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps (and even higher on occasion) are possible. Even better, most of these ISP Wi-Fi hotspots don't impose data caps or count the amount of data used against your account's data cap, should you have one.
Business Hotspots
Many businesses that serve the public offer access to the Internet, usually over a local Wi-Fi network. McDonald's, Starbucks, and Walmart are examples of companies that provide free Wi-Fi. And it's not just restaurants and grocery stores offering the service; you'll find that most hotels, medical offices, hospitals, campgrounds, even roadside rest stops offer free Wi-Fi.
The quality of the service varies a great deal; this includes speed of the service and bandwidth, as well as data caps or time limits that may be in place.
Connecting to these services may be as easy as opening your network settings and selecting the free Wi-Fi network, or it may require you to set up an account or make use of a guest login system. In most cases, the process is automated; once you select the Wi-Fi service in the network settings, a webpage will open with instructions on how to complete the connection. Once connected, you're free to wander about the web.
Municipal Hotspots
Many cities and communities are building publicly available Wi-Fi networks that offer free access to both residents and visitors.
Many communities offer free outdoor public Wi-Fi similar to the City of Boston's Wicked Free Wi-Fi. This type of service is designed to provide free Internet access in public locations around the town.
All that's needed is a device, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, that has built-in Wi-Fi support.
Most municipality-supplied Wi-Fi has limited hotspot locations as well as limited bandwidth, which could impact how you use the Internet. But for basic access and routine usage, they tend to work well.
I left libraries for the last entry, not because they come in last, but because they offer much more than just free Internet connections; they also can provide you with a computer to use and a very comfy chair to sit in.
Besides offering computers, libraries generally offer free Wi-Fi connectivity for all of their visitors.
But a library's Internet services may not stop with each visit to the library. Some, like the New York Public Library, will lend you a mobile hotspot to use at home to connect to the city's free Wi-Fi network.
