No Internet After a Move? A List of Free Wifi Hotspots!

Switching utilities before a move can be quite a hassle, and just remembering to switch electric and water is enough to worry about for many of us. A lot of the times people forget about connecting the internet or do not want to bother with it right away. Here is a plan of approach that can help you with switching utilities. If you still don't get to it, I definitely understand.

Frequently, we don't realize how much we really need the internet until we don't have it during a move. Or don't realize the level of relaxation and enjoyment the internet can supply after a move. Here are some places with free wifi hotspots that we can take advantage of when we are in the transitional phase of moving.

Starbucks: They really are everywhere! Fortunately, most of them do provide free wifi access. Going there during the coffee rushes in the morning can be a headache, but it is quite quiet during the day and evening. Grab yourself a tasty treat or a cup of coffee while you relax in one of their couches or tables.
If you are not that into chain coffee shops, many small coffee shops have free wifi as well. Utilize your search engine to find some.

Parks: If you live in a dense urban area, the chances are some parks provide free wifi spots. Google search your city's name and "parks with wifi". It is really nice to sit outside (in a shaded spot) while surfing the web.

Restaurants: Many casual dining spots will have free wifi. A national chain that notably has free wifi is Panera. They also have tasty pastries, sandwiches and coffee you can enjoy while checking your emails.

Library: You would be hard press to find a library that does not provide free wifi. You may have to get a library card while you are it, but library cards are frequently free or have a very small one time fee.

Office Depot, Apple Stores and Staples: While these are not as cozy as most of the examples listed above, they do provide free wifi hotspots. You may find yourself standing in an aisle, but at least you can get access to the internet. If you have lots of things to do the level of discomfort will make sure that you budget your time wisely!

If all else fails, if you have one, you can use your smart phone for a couple of days until you are all set up. Moving is one of the times that I really find my Android's internet feature to come in handy. 

If you can't get access to the internet, try to stay calm. Somehow our species survived a long time without it, and I think we could survive without it again. Maybe...
