Brother,
Bloor to Front Street
Jarvis to Spadina
ps. in my opinion, this range is a bit short. They should have free wifii on the harboufront for those that like to relax by the water...

Doesn't work well when you're indoor. I can't see how something like this will work in the winter. One have to stand outside in the cold to get signal. The battery in laptops don't like cold temps either.

Has anyone been able to get on through their PSP? I was a few blocks away from the core (40% signal strength or something) and couldn't get on.

Can I buy a wireless router and share this internet connection between 2 wired PCs? It's confusing. Isn't router can only share internet connection coming from DSL/cable modem?

I receive 90% signal in the Canada Life building from the Hydro wifi.

Or get an external wired antenna if you're desparate... Besides, forget the battery on the laptop - the screen will go dark!!!
