Philadelphia to become huge wireless Internet hot spot - SEPT 3, 2004
Wireless internet … I upgraded my LynkSys router last year because the onboard software was getting a bit old and I needed a few new features that todays routers offer (like port triggering). Anyway, for 20 bucks more, I got a router with wireless access. I used it a little bit with my lap top and it worked pretty well. I usually had problems when I was booting up and a network connection wasn’t detected until after the software was loaded. Most computers are probably fine today - the laptop was a 100Mhz computer. One day, I will get a better laptop (with working batteries) and try the wireless thing out again.
Anyway … one day, it would be great if wireless access was just about everywhere. My cable bill charges about 40-50 dollars to access the internet. The good news is, with the play stations, servers, and desktop computers in my house, I have up to 8 connections behind my firewall accessing the internet through the same line. So I guess I can’t complain to much since I’m only supposed to have 1 connection. It is still a steep price.
Colledges usually include internet access with the price of tuition. However, are the students now paying for everyone in the area to access the internet. Hmm…
