However... in recent months I have suffered reliability issues with Ipass, when all of a sudden the system will refuse to accept my log-in. I don't know if this is an issue with my supplier (a local ISP), or with Ipass generally. Because of these reliability issues I am now looking for alternatives - either a different Ipass reseller (if the issue is with my ISP), or a different supplier altogether.

I am wondering if anyone can offer any advice? What I would be particularly interested in are the following:

1) Has anyone else suffered reliability issues with Ipass?

2) Are there any alternatives to Ipass? (I need something that offers both dial-up and wifi)

Any help/advice would be much appreciated!
I have been using iPass in Canada here for just over a year. Not all airports here are covered by iPass. Those that are, I say I struggle about 1/3rd of the time in connecting at all at a given place. I am not too impressed in western Canada at the places ipass has wifi connections.
