Re: Again !!!

Nah man, Im pretty sure its county money going into that. I remember seeing a county website with a area map of access points and such, aluding to it being a county thing. But I'm sure in the downtown area, you've be covered in the blanket even without muni-wifi with all the starbucks, panera bread, Borders, to name a few 'urban-centric' spots.

Your right about the early problems, and they have ironed out a lot of the log in problems. The downtown areas damn near close to being fully ravamped... Ever get a chance to see the renovations? Impressive, but still lacking. Still though, I'd rather see half that money go to public schools and helping out students in Montgomery College.....

And now Rockville's 'main street' like almost exactly like S.S., but they've got more likely hood of having a fully blown wifi service; hell I'd bet money I'd probably be able to access their wifi 30 miles away the way money gets thrown aroundup there....

I actually lived out on Cameron street so i was not able to pick up the signal, of course this may have been changed.

Overall, I am really happy with the changes in downtown Silver Spring in the past few years. I remember back in the 1980s when the whole downtown area was a dump. They really did a good job in bringing it back to life.
