Surprise of the day. In praise of Roadchef.

  • Artigo

A few days ago I posted in praise of McDonalds for their free WiFi. So I shouldn't have been surprised to stop at the motorway services and find Roadchef (at least at Norton Canes , off the M6 Toll) are doing the same. But in an otherwise predictable day, it was a surprise.

OK they did charge me £7.35 for a sandwich and a cup of coffee so one can argue they can afford it: still if places like this are giving free access (and to be fair , without requiring a purchase) it just adds to the pressure on places like hotels to stop stinging customers for access.

    I was at the same service station recently - but it was free to BT broadband customers only. Are you sure those were 100% free to everyone?

    On the subject of free wi-fi If you are every going to brighton check out "loose connection" i visit every few months and most of the pubs have free wi-fi (and good and cheap bar food) i have never tried it but last summer they created a wi-fi beach between the two piers (which had a free service)
