They were always a bit warty, if you ask me. I got stuck with a $300 cancellation fee with T-Mobile after using their Starbucks Wifi service. When I told them I had specifically signed up for only one month's service, I was told over the phone that they had "decided that I wanted a one year contract instead." The reason I even bothered to pay for wifi at Starbucks? This was before the 'free wifi' was common and standard. Almost 20 years ago. I was homeless and needed an internet connection to get things done during the day on my laptop before I found another place to stay. The only option I was given was to continue using the Starbucks/TMobile Wifi service or pay an early termination fee. The rep said "since you have one nearby, I don't see why you couldn't keep using it." The closest Starbucks, after I relocated, was a 30 minute drive. No public transportation. And I didn't have a car. All carriers are bastards.
