Re: Who Wants It?
Easy, often wifi has higher upload than competing landline services. If its T1 backhauled its atleast 1300Kbs, if its fiber or multiple T1s or metro ethernet or powerline, there is a chance you can get upto 2000-4500kbs. Even with if your cursed with NAT, you can get some pretty good speeds on Bittorrent. One problem is, if the wifi admins monitor usage, and kick off high draining users. But its easy to abuse with fake contact info and prepaid credit cards.
Honestly I think its truly pathetic and shows the incumbants have to go if people goto muni wifi for the upload speed. And very often Muni wifi is very great upload speeds for low price. $65 for 512kbs on Time Warner is a joke, I get 1200 real world on a paid hotspot for $18 a month. |
