@Ralf – Also, make sure that you have GoBoingo, which is our newer client. You should have no problems with it taking over. Uninstall the older software, and try-out GoBoingo.

@BBusyB – we are updating our directory in a couple of weeks, that should make it much easier for you to find locations. In the location directory, for hotels for example, it will say where you can find the connections.

@Jeremy Pepper
I Can Understand that It takes time to add more partners.
The problem is that there is no easy way to check weather there is a affliated spot nearby, without actially testing or laborously going through the listings.
It would be nice if the List was available in a easily serchable by address, post code, etc as well as by chains such as by Hotel / Motel chains that where Boingo was usable.
(Also in hotels if the service was usable throughout the hotel, or in just designated areas, as I found to my Irritation Recently)
Even Nicer if that was also available offline.
This Hit or miss in Finding locations is currenly my biggest Peeve With the service.

@Ralf – Sorry to hear that you had connection issues; we monitor our partner networks to make sure that the access is the same fast and reliable service that people expect from Boingo. And, we continue to grow that network to more than 100,000 hotspots worldwide right now, and we continue to grow and add hotspots around the globe. And, as BBusyB noted, the GoBoingo software is an application we provide to our users to make it easier to log-in into Boingo partner networks; it automatically notifies you if you are in a Boingo network, so you can use your account.

@BBusyB – As I noted to Ralf, we are continuing to add hotspots; as we increase in the UK, ping me at Boingo (first initial, last name at boingo.com) and I will let you know as we add.

Been using a Boingo Account in the UK for a few Months.
While Finding spots where u can use it can be a bit of a pain (No Starbucks access here, Sorry), It is usefull, and compared to any of the paid subscriptions plans here, Cheap.
One tip for Boing Customers is that you can still use you boing user ID on supported spots without installing the boingo Client.
On the Login page for the Access Point just enter
Username – boingo/(Your Boing Username)
Password – (Your Boing Password)

Handy to use form another machine wher you dont have the client installed.

I had Boingo for several months. Connectivity and quality was spotty and their software took control of my wireless software management too.

I decided to move to a GPRS device where i can have a connection anywhere anytime.

ignore the above comment, it was meant for the ssd post

The problem with these large drives is that in order to get that capacity, they have to switch from very very fast single-level cell (SLC) flash chips to much much slower multi-level cell (MLC) chips. They have considerably slower write speeds, and even SLC SSDs already have slowness issues with random writes, I can’t imagine how slow MLC SSDs would be in that respect. They had better be able to come up with some kind of magic-bullet solution to this problem if they want MLC SSDs to be usuable, especially in the server enviornment.
