| Whoa
Those people sure complain a lot for something that is free.
.. and what's the whole argument about signal strength in that thread? It didn't really feel like anyone in that thread knew what they were talking about regarding RF or FCC regulations. |

They have no accountability? |

| They should demand their money back too. Or better yet, get as many people to pay their next bill late. That will make them sit up and take notice!
Who's with me? Who has the flaming torches and pitchforks!

When you pay money for something, you complain.
When you get something for free, you comment or suggest.
There is accountability in both situations, but the tone is much different. |

Valencia, CA | yeah, Mountain view is fairly flat... they just have the sites too far apart for decent use.
I used MetroFi when I was in Sunnyvale, and wasn't impressed, but then again it was ad driven, proxied and not as reliable as dialup. |

no...muni is muni provided...muni assets, muni employees, muni billed, etc....
public/private venture is different. Leasing city poles/r.o.w. does not make one a muni provider.
MetroFi is not muni wifi. Earthlink in Philly is not muni-fi. Utopia in Utah is not muni broadband really as they can't provide any retail services. Muni infrastructure owner yes, but not muni broadband. Want examples of the real deal, try Thomasville, GA or Kutztown, PA.
This is just a continuing misnomer pushed by an uneducated press. This is as backwards as the FCC calling everything over 200k "broadband." |

LMAO! Leave it to the libs in the bay area to complain about a free service. Don't you realize they are entitled to trouble free internet service? This sounds like a perfect situation for a class action lawsuit led by the ACLU to sue the city for free modems. |
