Obviously. Which is why you don't know if he will have difficulty connecting inside his home. That was my point...

Virtually everyone with broadband has a Wi-FI enabled router and the vast majority of people have broadband. I do not know a single person in The Villages who doesn't have broadband with Wi-FI enabled. This is most likely a non-issue and not worth fretting over.

I think there are many people who have no idea what broadband and WiFi are, or what their use is around the home. It might be nice if someone who is really technically knowledgeable would give an explanation on here of both broadband and WiFi. I have to admit to being one of those who did not realize that you can pick up free WiFi in many public places. When travelling the first thing I do is check my settings for the local free WiFi before I start using my phone.
Someone said to me the other day that using a phone while traveling was very expensive, they had no idea that WiFi is available if you search for it. If you are checking emails or searching on your phone without WiFi you are using Data which can mount up.

Cricket for us for 4 years, never a problem so I can’t even comment on customer service! Would never go back to Verizon or AT&T.

I don't steal wifi because you don't have to. I use my phone in airports and other public places where free wifi is available, all you have to do is check your settings to see whether or not free wifi is offered.

I will be changing from Verizon once the equipment I have is paid off. I have liked Cricket because for about 4 years njbchbum has been happy with it and we travel the same route back up north. Her steadfast approval is good enough for me. |

If you are going to a website with your browser that supports https then you are pretty safe on a public network but there are still some vulnerabilities (someone would really want to get at you and you would need to make some poor choices). If you are using an app to go to a bank or other such website it would make sense to make sure encryption is being used but again there could be some vulnerabilities. Using VPN software on your device in a public network makes everything safe unless the NSA is after you.

There are plenty of websites that will explain communications and the internet in varying degrees of detail. The short story is that broadband is a high-speed connection to the internet. It is typically provided via cable TV companies and phone companies using various cabling technologies. Wi-Fi is a wireless connection protocol to the internet (essentially to a local router) that eliminates the need to have an ethernet cable to your devices from your router. Broadband to your house requires a router that will typically have both ethernet ports (there might be some devices you want hardwired to your router) and a Wi-Fi transmitter/receiver. Consumer Wi-Fi products have been available for 20 years and Wi-Fi has become ubiquitous.
