I am wondering if there is any free Wi-Fi service in Tigard Oregon or some service that costs $20.00/month for wireless internet?

To “Recovering Clear Customer”: I’ve been using Clear for about two years, with generally good service. The only glitches I’ve encountered are an occasional shutdown after 1:00 AM for a few hours (for maintainence, I guess), and I occasionally unplug for 30 seconds to clear the static build-up (read the instructions!).

DO NOT GO TO CLEAR.

I am finally shaking off the hangover of a year of their “service.” Remember those old anti-satellite TV ads where a family was complaining about how every time it gets cloudy or rainy the service cuts out?

CLEAR IS ACTUALLY LIKE THIS. I spent a year with them, had the technician come out and replace the modem, etc. It never changed. It never gave reliable service, and often would not provide any service at all.

It’s a scam and a shakedown in which they talk you into a contract. I’m finally free.

He operates a (W)ISP. This has nothing to do with “municipal wireless,” as this blog would suggest.
