I'm posting this from SJC Terminal A (American Airlines). I love having access. It turns out that T-Mobile isn't usable here for some reason. Guess who will be asking for a refund. But the local Waypoint service works great. Not bad for $6.95/day. Of course, I'll only get 1 hour of use, but I wanted to give it a try. Maybe I'll get to the airport even earlier next time, knowing that this is here.

I'm really impressed by the low latency to my DSL line at home and the other machines I've tried. It looks like a good connection via Level3.

I wish Waypoint was in all the Airports. We have it at DFW and i don't mind getting to the terminal early anymore.
