MassPort has a hard enough time running the airport - thay have some nerve thinking that they should also be in the ISP business! I will NEVER give them a dime for wireless access there - and I hope others feel the same way!
Fortunately, I've got a Verizon wireless card in my laptop and can get a broadband connection regardless of the local w-lan service. (I'd highly recommend it for those of you that end up paying 12.95+ a night to a hotel for internet access.)
This one really isn't AA's fault. Massport has decided that for "security reasons" we all have to use their WiFi (and of course, this means that they get to collect the tolls). This is an absolute crock, and is being litigated. Imagine the impact if Massport wins: your landlord (or your company's landlord) can stipulate that you can use only their private wireless instead of setting up your own access points (this is fundamentally a landlord-tenant dispute).
AA does provide WIRED access to T-Mobile in the AC. Bring your own Ethernet cable.
The BOS AC isn't the greatest (it's rather small, usually cramped and always dirty) but it's far better than sitting out in the terminal.
