Yeah the earthlink wifi for philly seems a little f-ed up. every time i try to talk to customer service on their web site about it, they ask me for all this personal info before addressing my questions. not cool. when "city-wide wifi" was first pitched, it was pitched as this open access service the city would provide. three years later, here's the situation: i live on the 11th floor of a high rise and get perfect wifi service via one neighbor or another 100% of the time. even on the roof, which is technically the 21st floor, the service is perfect. and because it's a big crowded city, never once when i've sat down in a coffee shop, park, etc., have i opened my laptop and not been able to find an open, free connection. for people looking for more security, however, earthlink may be an option. but i've been able to make out pretty well without paying a per-hour fee. p.s. can you go to hell for stealing the internet?

when “city-wide wifi” was first pitched, it was pitched as this open access service the city would provide. three years later, here’s the situation:

i live on the 11th floor of a high rise and get perfect wifi service via one neighbor or another 100% of the time. even on the roof, which is technically the 21st floor, the service is perfect.
and because it’s a big crowded city, never once when i’ve sat down in a coffee shop, park, etc., have i opened my laptop and not been able to find an open, free connection.
for people looking for more security, however, earthlink may be an option.
but i’ve been able to make out pretty well without paying a per-hour fee.

p.s. can you go to hell for stealing the internet?
