=WiFi In Madison=

January 27 I went to the Student Activity Center (SAC) for an hour. I like studying there because of the WiFi and it's comfortable studying spaces. When I came in around 2:30 it wasn't very crowded, and almost all the desk/cubicle spaces were open. I sat in one and read for about an hour. The constant dinging of the elevator was a bit annoying at first, but I quickly tuned it out. By the time I left around 3:30 the place was becoming a lot more packed, and none of the cubicle's were open.

February 14 I've been at Cosi for about 3 hours now..The WiFi works well here, and you don't need to get a password or anything from the staff. It took me a little bit to get onto it but that could be my own fault. :)

Feb 25 I've spent about five hours at College library this week. The WiFi works really well. I had to watch a clip of a movie for a class, and it loaded and played just fine. Obviously you don't need a password, just to sign in with your UW username and password.

March 8 I'm at PotBelly's using their wifi. It is free, but it's kind of slow. I only get 3 bars of connection, and I had to go through a lot of security stuff to get onto it. I'm using Firefox and it says it doesn't trust the security of the wifi, but once I accepted it, I got through just fine.

March 15 I went to the U-Square Food Court to study for a midterm, hoping to use the internet. They do have wifi and I was able to connect to it, but unfortunately the actual internet never worked for me. I tried using firefox & internet explorer, but neither would load any pages. It was quite frustrating..So don't go to U-Square Food Court if you're hoping to get some studying done!

March 21 I'm in Memorial Union doing some studying for the midterm. I'm using the wifi here and it works pretty well, no complaints!

March 26 I'm at Steep & Brew working on some papers. Not too happy to be doing homework when it's technically spring break, but I know I'll enjoy my decision when I'm in Mexico worry-free! Anyways, the wifi here is free and it works, but it's a bit slow...but it's good enough for me!

April 18 I'm trying to write a paper at the Wisconsin Lutheran Chapel on Gilman. The WiFi is free here, you just need to get the user name & password which are listed on a poster in the vending machine room. The Internet seems to work well here, and you get free coffee!
