It's been up and broadcasting for what would appear to be 2 years. I see anywhere from 1-3 bars on my devices when I try to connect, however, I'm never able to connect. I'm able to connect to WiFi networks using any of my devices in other places (at work, my home WiFi, neighbor's WiFi, library, various cafes throughout the county) The only time I can remember connecting to Wireless Hollywood, it was so intolerably slow that I said "screw it" and gave up on it. As a resident of Hollywood, this has NEVER worked in my neighborhood. I live by US441 and Pembroke Road/Washington St. In my area, “Wireless Hollywood” has never seemed to work.

Tried for hours today. I see a strong 56 mbps signal, but it will not connect. Wasted money. I live near 28th and Taft, same thing happens, trying to connect, it will not provide IP address.

I have checked the City of Hollywood Site http://www.hollywoodfl.org/wifi/Wireless_hollywood.htm for info ,but it is little better than useless. I find it absolutely absurd to give a suggestion to "we recommend that you check to be sure you have configured your Wi-Fi settings correctly." and not give any idea of what those settings should be. Doesn't really engender a sense of confidence in the city's technical staff. I live near 49th ave and harding and can see the Wireless Hollywood network but it never connects.

Is this network compatible with Skype software to make calls? I know calls on Wifi networks are not free. I just want to know if the network is compatible to use Skype.
