I certainly use my phone when the local WiFi gets too obnoxious.

The best experiences I have had were in out-of-the-way places. 
Newfoundland and Labrador were quite nice. I think there was 
even one WiFi that didn't have a password.

In the US they seem to want to have you agree to their terms of 
service. But it is really an excuse to direct you through their 
web page. I wonder what they are collecting there.
