Selling wireless while giving it away-Why buy the cow when the milk is free?

Jun 20, 2010 2 Replies

Puzzled as to why a major provider would keep two open routers, major brands, allowing anyone to configure and connect while they are selling the same, but faster services in the same city. This appears to be a mesh network? Is this common?



They run at about 3MB but throttle down to very low download speeds during certain scheduled hours, while their upload speeds remain fairly constant.



Not complaining, it's FREE and allows me to experiment :-)
