To connect to the free Wi-Fi you need to connect to the network, open the browser, click the "Connect" and display two 20-second commercials. When using the internet through the browser on the screen periodically pop up ad banners. At each transplant authorization procedure to view the video has to be repeated, and sometimes it has to be repeated on the same line.
