It was a great concept but the final product sucked. I feel you should automatically be hooked up to the wifi and kicked of after 2? Hours. Or at the minimum, a very simple, FAST, login page. I never used it as it required too much work/time to use it.

I wish Decatur would look at migrating this to a WiMax service everywhere but in the downtown square. This would allow for a very small area where WIFI would be directly available (the square), but allow for a platform that is more suited to covering a municipal area at speeds that may be useful in the outlying neighborhoods and within residents homes.

I actually have been using this for a few months b/c I am cheap. Service is definitely spotty and slow at times, but it almost always works to some extent. I have to say it seems to have improved lately. Lately, sometimes it’s lightning fast. Other times, well . . .

I’m actually wondering if anyone has purchased the wireless modem and if that had a significant effect on the service or no.

If the price was right, and the performance good enough, I would consider using it if I could get a family plan that covered all my computers, ipods, tablets, etc.

It would be nice to be able to facetime or skype the kids when they are about town (& avoid the cell phone charges)
