Does anybody know what happened to that plan, trumpeted on the front of the Argus, for Wi-Fi everywhere?
This piece suggests it might all go belly-up. Again.

Have you got your access set to [All Categories you have access to] on the "Group Category Menu"?
Nothing earthshattering as such but who knows .... |

Why can't I see those threads (Friday and the 3 - 5:30 lull... board) I can only see the local and national news threads? |

Oh what fun when we can sit on the beach and surf the net. Cor blimey - i despair sometimes. I think its time to start a 'what makes me grumpy' thread. |

Is it not supposed to gradually be deployed over the rest of the city? |

All you notice is if you go for a Coffee
it has WiFi within that store.
Or even Hotels.
It may also be a Tech problem
you have to keep connecting and Pathetic Vista has made it 1000
times worse.
You would be mad to use a Credit Card while on WiFi
security is the problem.

Loose Connection are quite good - their wifi is quite fast and reliable, plus it's installed in some (mostly) quite good pubs:

I think you're right about security. I'm very wary about what I input by way of passwords etc. as you really don't know whether someone's put some sort of sniffer (or whatever they're called) on their network upstairs. |
