DO YOU REALLY need to PAY verizon for what you can usually find for FREE via wifi?

WTF! Let Verizon start competing with "FREE" and municipal wireless in the space and see if they can get their huge "V" around a fair price/terms of service for wireless broadband!!!
What are you talking about? I live in NYC I get 140 SSIDs, 95% are WEPed and the unless you have a yagi the size of your leg your laptop is drowned out since wifi only has 3 non overlaping channels. When you dont have node congestion, they are all WEPed, or you'll never get a IP or DHCP response. I BT tether to my VZ Moto E815 and run the risk of getting terminated (i was threated at 4 gigs a month, now i do 500mb a month).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17033044 Thu, 05 Oct 2006 14:21:46 EDT Victims http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17032994 tmc8080 : Oh well, then I guess businesses DESERVE TO GET PRICE GOUGED then.. this is NOT a viable product for residential customers, and it should not be targeted to that market.

The hope was that competition and improvement in services would open up the customer base to include residential customers.. instead companies are moving AWAY FROM and not TOWARDS that goal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17032994 Thu, 05 Oct 2006 14:14:36 EDT Re: limited choice? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17032112 N3OGH :

Not everyone has a wifi hotspot near buy for everything they do.

The nature of some people's work puts them in situations where they can trot off to the local coffee shop and use the wifi...
