It seems like starbucks just reversed this. I used to have to use a registered starbucks cards and was supposed to only get 1 hour a day ( it never cut me off though). However recently I noticed that all the starbucks in my area have gone to free wifi. Just accept the terms and conditions and you're set.

Yeah, they just made that change a month or two ago. I'm going to guess that they figured out they were losing business to either smaller chains or mom and pop stores who were offering free internet.

Yep, I stopped going to Starbucks because coffee shop block away has free WiFi.
