Have Carluccio’s Cracked Wi-Fi?

In Manchester yesterday, I had a breakfast-cum-lunch in Carluccio’s in Manchester Piccadilly station.

It was the first of their caffes, where I found that wi-fi had been installed. As it was a station that supposedly had Network Rail’s wi-fi, I gave it a go and found that I could collect to Carluccio’s network.

And very good it was too! It was also pretty hassle-free, in that there was no login or registration process.  Which is as it should be!

I hope that they don’t find their hot-spot gets used as a free download for masses of data, but there is nothing worse than going into a pub or restaurant and finding that getting a Wi-fi connection is a complete hassle.

But then, all I ever want to do is check e-mails, read a few web pages or use the machine locally.  I don’t listen to music, play games or watch videos or live action on a small device.
