Free wireless internet access at McDonalds

What's this about?
McDonalds has joined Wetherspoons in offering free wireless internet access in restaurants around the country (see Wetherspoons free wireless deal)
Where can I get it?
At the time of writing, it's available in 310 out of 1,200 restaurats nationwide but should be available in all restaurants by the end of the year (2007).
To find out if your local Maccy D's has free wi-fi use its Restaurant Locator. As it only launched yesterday it may have not have updated yet, so check back if it says you can't get it.
What do I have to buy?
There is no minimum purchase and no time limit but of course it hopes the longer you stay there, the more food and drink you'll buy!
How does this compare?
While other places offer free Wi-Fi too, as it's a national chain with mroe branches than elsewhere, it's a very useful thing to know. Getting Wi-Fi access in places like Starbucks or other coffee chains can cost up to £10 for an hour, so this is a bargain - as food and drink is pretty cheap anyway!

Lol, I was just about to post this, beat me to it!
I went to a drive through at my local McDonalds today, and noticed a "FREE WIFI INSIDE!" sign by the window. I thought it was a bit funny to put that at the drive through, maybe to divert customers to going inside, the drive-through has been awfully packed lately.0 -
