McDonalds offers free wifi, but they only give you a 2-hour internet session, before it dies out and you have to accept the Terms and log in again.

Being a big Internet Radio person, this is VERY frustrating, because I listen to a lot of Countdown shows that are 2-hours in length, and invariably, my Internet connection will die halfway through the #1 song?!

(Usually I will start a connection so that it will die at the 1-hour mark, but that isn't always possible, or like right now, as a dummy I just renewed my connection at 7:57am which means in 2 hours I will miss the #1 song on my show coming up...)

Is there some way to trick McDonalds system and either...

1.) Extend my Session automatically, or

2.) Manually Kill a Session so I have control of when that happens (e.g. during a commercial)

Thanks,

Debbie
