| Lots of spots in SoCal In LA - they have a LOT of Wifi - probably more coverage than most ever would use, and keeps many from requiring a cell plan on a tablet. |

| Meh So far I have not been that impressed with the ones in KC. They connect about 1/3 of the time and when they do the speeds are only good enough to lightly browse on a tablet. |

Brookfield, WI | who cares? how about upgrading that infrastructure? |
|
| Maybe that's what they are doing.
Building a mesh network to bypass their lame hybrid coax fiber network.  |

Re: who cares? probably more likely to push a deal to many 'urban dwellers' (NYC) where they wouldn't want to pay the extra $20-$30/month for limited data over cellular.
Maybe their long term is to partner with a cellular provider (aren't they hitching up with VZW?). It'd give AT&T a run for their money, and reduce the cost of overages, and give them some clickstream cash. |

Re: Put near my locations! This most likely wouldn't help you. Especially if they're putting the APs on the cable lines along the street. |

Yeah, if it is a big outage. Sometimes, I do have small ones. |

Here in Socal, TWC is the only entity that does, all the while prices have come down or remain flat.
We've on our third upgrade of the cable plant in a decade. |

Re: Lots of spots in SoCal Indeed, there is a lot of coverage near commercial boulevards.
But connectivity and signal quality varies widely.
With a good connection, 15/1 is common. |

Really? Of all the times I've checked for wifi availability, I've only seen TWC wifi show up once. I stumble across AT&T much more frequently (usually due to a Starbucks).
I'm not sure what the point of investing in wifi is. TWC would be much wiser to spend their efforts on their cable system. Their LA HD lineup is still a total joke and they're still running Comcast's iGuide software from 2004.
