    Re: Free wireless places

    Seattle's Best in Waipio (next to Costco).

    If you go to the Starbucks across the parking lot but don't want to pay for their (soon to be free?) WiFi, Starbuck's staff will show you where to sit so that you can pick up the leakage from Seattle's Best...

      Isn't Seattle's Best owned by Starbucks? Big hint both use the same acronym "SB"
      Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

        Yes, both owned by Starbucks but run separately.


        As far as a free wi-fi, Mocha Java at Ward Centre offers free wi-fi per purchase.

        And not that I endorse this, and has risk, but the Keeaumoku Wal-Mart food court there are plenty of open nets from the condos/towers nearby.

            Really? There's a chance that Starbuck's wifi (Skywave Metro) will soon be free?

              Starbucks nationwide is switching from T-mobile to AT&T as their Wi-Fi provider, but word has it that it comes with strings attached...rumors are being a AT&T user, having a Starbucks card and dealing with pop-ups, IM's, etc.
              I spend alot of time in Seattle and one of their chains, Tully's, gives it away for free and see it as a perk, where as Starbucks sees it as a new marketing tool.
              I say no thanks.

                Hawaiian Air's Premiere lounge has free wifi at Honolulu but not at Lihue. Also on Kauai, Kukui Grove Mall has free wifi provided by First Hawaiian Bank.

                    Bump... anyone know if sites previously mentioned in this thread are still offering free wifi?

                    The ones I know of and use from time to time include:

                    McDonalds' - seems all locations have free wifi.

                    Starbucks - most have free wifi

                    Hawaii State Capitol - most of the building

                    Barnes & Noble Ala Moana - near their snack shop. Any other B & Ns?

                    Borders - Haven't been there in over a year but they had some limited free wifi at Ward location.

                    Safeway Kaimuki - been more than a year since I been there, but last I was they had.

                    MacMouse - on South Street.

                    Apple Store - Ala Moana; I presume the others have too.

                    Various hotels in Waikiki. Haven't recently checked.

                    Is Kokua Wireless still offering free wifi?

                    Know of any other "free" public hotspots in Honolulu, elsewhere in Hawaii?
                    I'm still here. Are you?
