0.12Mbps on Starbucks WiFi? Have a Backup Data Access Plan!

Starbucks is a digital oasis for me.I usually pop in, fire up the Starbucks mobile card app, order a beverage, have my iPhone scanned to pay for it and then sit down to use the Starbucks WiFi access point (provided by AT&T) on a smartphone, iPad or notebook (or netbook). This plan usually works just fine. And, I’ve executed this plan more times that I would care to admit.

Today’s pit stop was for two hours while I waited for new tires to be put on my car.
