Haven't heard about the free hour offer. Can anyone fill me in?
I have heard the City is testing the system for sign-off so I would
urge folks to contact their CMs if you have issues especially rude or
smarmy tech support. I would also post both good and bad things to
this list which will help in keeping everyone honest.
The issue of USIW's signal taking over the Wi-Fi on a computer is an
odd one. Happens often at our house (Seward) but I just have to switch
back to the local hub. Sheldon does have a good idea in telling your
computer to not connect to USIW if you're not a customer.
