You get what you pay for in free McWifi

I had a routine doctor’s visit at 9 a.m. today, so I went to McDonalds afterward for a parfait and coffee and Internet.

The Wifi at the McDonald’s at Nettleton and Caraway in Jonesboro took a good 10 minutes to load the McHome page, then refused to connect with the Internet. That, of course, is the downside to McDonald’s instituting near-systemwide free Wifi – entrusting a bunch of minimum wage burger-flippers with Internet Technology tasks.

What could possibly go wrong?

Fortunately, I have my Sprint 3G/4G USB card.
