Re: Free Really Isn't
The only thing you have to supply to AT&T to access the WiFi service is the same login credentials that are required to access your DSL service, nothing more, nothing less.
If you consider that providing AT&T with your account login credentials is too big a privacy/security risk, perhaps you should consider using carrier pigeons or tin cans and string.

So basically, because I ask questions first instead of bending over all nice & lubed up for AT&T this makes me the weirdo? |

2. Even if Mommy has a DSL account with AT&T, she probably won't give you the login credentials to allow you to use the free WiFi access, so again it is a moot point.
3. I did not use the word "weirdo", that was your juvenile interpretation.

Do you use the same account for email? If so, it should be the same password as the email password for that account.
