Fee-based wireless computer use in Toronto

I posted recently about free wifi use in Toronto. Here's the info about one common paid wireless service that you see at many places around town - Hotspot.

The fee depends on which wireless service you use - Bell, Fido, Rogers or Telus. For example, Rogers charges 15 cents per minute if you aren't on a special plan.

Here's how to log in:

1) Find a Hotspot near you
2) Check equipment and settings
3) Choose your carrier
4) Purchase Hotspot time or use existing time
To get set up at a Hotspot location, you need a PC laptop with Wi-Fi connectivity. Additional hardware or software isn't needed.
For links to each of the four companies, go to this page and click on your carrier for pricing info:
How to use Hotspot
Seems easy enough though it could get pricey!
