Hi all,
My hubby just purchased a year wifi with flying j, mostly for entertainment like Netflix etc. So far he stopped in Pickering, Ontario for 2 days. Day 1 internet access was good. Day 2 he couldn't connect, went and talked with manager who told him we not honouring that you have to pay. Corporate says we cannot control what happens in Canada. Next was Rapid City, SD (i90) would not honour it, then Wye, MT would not honour it. Another call to corporate where they stated they own nothing in Montana - flying J are mostly fuel only, some will honour showers/coffee etc. most will not. Road Rangers in Illinois have pulled out of Flying J so will not work/honour in Illinois according to corporate a 0630 this morning!!
Any tips from other long haulers - he does have cell data plan for roaming from Canada, however, Netflix is a bit of a data hog...US cell providers will not give him a monthly plan without a US credit card and a US zip code.

I suggest you look into Verizon or AT&T. Costs are much lower now. Both companies have gone unlimited with data, and this time they are not going back.Last edited: Mar 11, 2019

Montana “PFJs” (Town Pumps) are not the best place to try and use PFJ premium WiFi plans. They are generally branded dealers and don’t have much to do with PFJ official services.
That said, I have had pretty good WiFi performance at some Montana Town Pumps. They typically honor the PFJ login but it is a different system nonetheless.Last edited: Mar 11, 2019

Netflix download when at home.
magoo68 Thanks this. -
Get a phone plan with unlimited everything...no need for truckstop internet
yankatank, PE_T and otterinthewater Thank this. -
I bought a couple single days when I first started driving. The outdoor WiFi sucked. I changed my cell plan and it still cost less than paying for a year of spotty WiFi.
They should fix it. Until then my cell carrier will get my money. -
If you're Canadian it's not as easy to get a us cell phone. Need USA zip code and address. It can be done just some extra headaches to deal with. I think this is the issue the op is facing.
Op if you can make it happen. Verizon has an awesome 22 gig plan I pay $92 per month I think. Coverage pretty much everywhere. -
otterinthewater Thanks this.
