I am a current subscriber and moderately happy with the service, at
least when compared to the alternatives (qwest, comcast). I posted my
thoughts on the MPLS wifi recently in the Seward forum, so I won't
duplicate them here:

I do have to say I couldn't agree more with Jack. Why USI doesn't have
a blog with frequent updates about what they're doing blows me away.
It is something of a landmark project for the size and relative
success, it should be discussed more openly. Why there isn't a blog
for USI, and a blog for the group developing the civic gardens, I have
to wonder. It's 2008, get with it. So far, PFhyper is the only one
doing anything towards fixing it.
And regarding the civic garden project, it seems like an ill-managed
flop so far. As Peter noted a couple posts they posted some samples
and asked for feedback (http://wirelessminneapolis.org/
suggestions.htm) but the feedback mechanism is broken, saying instead:
[FORM GOES HERE] I'm not sure who's developing it, but that is
something that should have been checked and fixed long ago. Would love
to contact them, but, [FORM GOES HERE]...
