Petro picks SiriComm as wi-fi provider

Here's another choice for internet access on the road if you don't have or can't justify the monthly cost of an Air Card from a national service provider like Sprint, Cingular or Verizon.
Petro picks SiriComm as wi-fi provider
By Jill Dunn

Petro Stopping Centers has selected SiriCOMM to provide wi-fi hot spots at its 64 locations.

SiriCOMM hot spots already are at more than 300 locations nationwide, with agreements that will extend the network to more than 700 sites, including Pilot Travel Centers, Love's Travel Stops, some independent truck stops, some roadside weigh stations that feature PrePass and some truck fleet terminals.

Unfortunately, they don't say when their service is gonna be up 'n runnin'. :wtf:

SiriComm is a little flakey, and a little expensive (7 bucks if you just want a 24 hour 'ticket').

I've also noticed that, shockingly, when a IdleAire system is present, it has it's own wi fi signal, and the T/S wi-fi system usually seems not to work for some strange reason :wtf:

I've also noticed that the Flying J wi-fi has a 300 MB daily download limit :whistling:

Couldn't tell you anything about SiriComm since I've never used it.

The 'daily limit' that Flying J's now have implemented suck!
One time I got online and did my normal 'run through the forums' on the sites I frequent that have forums...........in less than 4 hours I get a window popping up that says I 'exceeded my daily limit' of web use. :wow: :wtf:

Used to be $4.95 for 24 hours.........UNLIMITED usage!

Evidently not any more. :wow:

Good thing they didn't notify their subscribers. :wtf:

Rotten SOB's! :angry:
