You can get free wifi at starbucks without any AT&T setup at home. The steps:
- buy a starbucks gift card ($5 minimum)
- register the giftcard online
- use the registration info when prompted when you connect to the network at SBUX.
- you must make at least one purchase each month on the giftcard, e.g. a tall coffee for $1.50.
- you can only use two MAC addresses on that card. Otherwise they'll lock your account, but you can call and get it unlocked.
- with said giftcard you also get free refills and free flavorings of some type too, even if you don't use the giftcard to buy the coffee in the first place.
I go to starbucks pretty much every day and that's how I get online there.
