At first sight, the green field above looks pretty flat, but upon a further look, you'll see the dip. Now if you have been here before, you'll know that there's a HUGE valley in front of the trees... So too today in Philadelphia it appears the "Digital Divide" has closed between The Suburbs and the urban areas. I don't believe it. Our High Speed internet prices will continue to rise because of the current wifi situation. Yes it still functions, but the service has NOT reached it's full potential and Earthlink customer service is abysmal...The latest news is that Earthlink will eventually leave with "Wireless Philadelphia" left to fend for itself. WIMAX in Philly is being flirted with but until these other services establish themselves, and cause competitive pricing, the technology gap will continue. What do you think? Please subscribe...

WiFi... servers

Earthlink gave notice service would end June 12. Anybody using them knows they gave up some time ago... I went to Earthlink WiFi when they had all those ads on the buses, driven to give them a try cause Verizon's DSL was so unreliable.

Now what? Comcast--waay more expensive.

Why is news of what's happening with WiFi so hard to come by?

There has to be a lot of pissed off customers in Philly. We need a way to raise a collective stink about being first dumped, then gouged at inflated rates.

Grrrr...
