 Dumb People.....Wireless Vaporware!

People seem to think Wireless is the Second Coming, especially if it's free. Wireless has it's uses, but for High Speed Broadband coverage in a city nothing comes close to Fiber. So people have to wake up and understand and know the limitations of Wireless.

Foster City

I use the Metrofi service in Foster City, California. The nodes I've connected to give around 2000/300 with 35 to 80ms latency. I'm able to start my server at home with WOL. I can also use FTP and SSH on the standard ports which is cool for a free service. With Firefox and Ad Block Plus the ads are minimal and non intrusive.
