I agree with Tony, It seems to me that the city should take care of more important things like perhaps the flooding issues and perhaps some street lights in our dark neighborhoods ect…. Could this luxury have waited?

I think with the condition of our economy and schools that the 400 grand would be better used elsewhere. This wasteful spending tends to eliminate public offices.

I live in the area and have had great luck with the service. Use along the CBD w/o an additional antenna but had to add a Ruckus to get quality signal at home. Super “amenity” for residents!

I haven’t been able to get on the free wifi network in Pleasant Hill at all… I periodically detect an entry called “Free Internet Access” on my MacBook and iPod Touch, but I can’t seem to connect to it — is it really open network, or is there a password for Pleasant Hill residents? Or is the muniwireless named something else and I am not detecting it at all? Thanks.

I would be interested to know where the service is slow. Every test we have done is 1Mbps to 3Mbps depending on distance to the AP.

We are always striving for improvement.

Free internet around town is a Wonderful concept!

I live in PH & use the service on occasion, but the connection is soooo slow, & the signal is so weak (even within a few hundred yards of the broadcast), that the effort is hardly worth it.

I usually end up at the coffee shop to get the connection I need.

Thanks for trying though !
