Some hotspots would fall in to this category, as would most Starbucks or other places of business. I've also tried tethering the bolt to my phone, but have never had success doing that. So I would not recommend sending the Bolt back. The next one you get will have the same problem.
Well and as stated in post 4, he had success using a hotspot.
