If 123.Net is the technical vendor behind it, you know it is going to be good. Those guys are the best when it comes to anything wireless [[or telecom related). We have them here in the office and the service is flawless.
I'm glad to see this is finally happening, hopefully it will expand to many more places in the city soon!

Yeah I am totally waiting for some weird conspiracy theory about how this is his way of stealing data from your wireless devices or some other hair-brained idea.Quote:

I wonder if we'll soon be seeing 123.Net relocating to a new downtown HQ.Quote:
Rock Ventures’ real estate arm, Bedrock Real Estate Services, is sponsoring the free Wi-Fi in the city’s core, along with Southfield-based tech firm 123.Net.
It's nice that the wifi is available to everyone. Like any public hotspot, I wouldn't do any banking [[or work with any sensitive documents) on their service.
Verizon 4G LTE isn't so great downtown. I usually get 3 to 4 Mbps download speeds in downtown. That compares to ~30 Mbps at my house. It will be nice to have a backup for those times Verizon is slow, or even backs up to 3G speeds.
Ever since they turned on the Gilbertown wifi I've been hearing a low-level hum Downtown. Anyone else hearing that?
