My FON router update
No one’s used my FON router yet. I think this is because I live in a totally backward little town. It’d be half exciting to see a few geeks sat out at the edge of the driveway with their laptops using the FON service. Although no doubt I’d be a little bit put out if it began to interfere with my network session.
Quite interesting reading on the login page though — I’ve been using the FON router to connect to the internet since it has a better wi-fi signal. It means logging in now and again but it’s rather nifty being able to see my traffic usage.
Looking at the stats there is absolutely no way I could use a broadband connection that was limited to 1,000 meg of traffic a month!
Would you share that 1GB traffic with other FON users, for FREE? Or for 2-3 Euros? And possibly open your network for strangers?
Can you find other FON hotspots while roaming?
In larger cities, without FON, free wifi is easily available.
FON so far has been useless.

I really don’t know how I’d react to the chap next door sat sucking on my bandwidth. Badly, I think.
