I know, I know...I blog a lot about Starbucks. I have a love/hate relationship with that brand.
I can't help it. There are six locations for me to choose from by my home and four by my office.
Around my home, they are advertising their latest offer - free wireless Internet access at more than 650 Starbucks stores in Canada! For Bell Sympatico Internet customers.
You get unlimited access by using your Bell ID to login to the Starbucks wireless access points. There's more information at www.bell.ca/wifi (currently that page doesn't seem to redirect properly in FireFox but works in Internet Explorer).
Starbucks customers get more limited access but that still amounts to 2 hours of free Wi-Fi per day by using your Starbucks Card and entering the number on the back to login.
So today, I love them.
Why?
- I am also a Bell customer. This partnership fully supports Bell's new branding to be recognized as Canada's leading communication company. As a customer of Bell - I win.
- I occasionally visit Starbucks with my laptop - so I win again!

I gave this a try with my iPod Touch, and it worked like a charm, too. Don't be fooled by the Bell FAQ that says Windows is required ( see http://www.wholemap.com/blog/bell-starbucks-wifi-canada for screen captures ).
