Re: "speeds were slow and coverage was spotty"
said by TKJunkMail  :Just because it is free doesn't mean that it is worth using. The reporter was seeing if the product works - it apparently doesn't work very well. Just like most of these citywide WiFi rollouts. "Speeds were slow and coverage was spotty" is no where near a detailed enough analysis to say it doesn't work very well.
Where was she trying to get coverage? Was she indoors, outdoors? What does she mean by slow exactly? Slow browsing? What was slow, the initial request or the actual downloading of the page? Or was she perhaps visiting a busy website?
I think the part that "doesn't work very well" are most people's expectation that WiFi rolled out across an entire city will work as well as their home broadband connection.
Hell, by her definition my cellphone "doesn't work very well" and Verizon has spent BILLIONS to design and roll out their network.
