I opine that to receive the personal loans from creditors you ought to have a great reason. But, once I have received a financial loan, just because I wanted to buy a house.

meraki’s “free the net” more like “adspam the net”- I’m not a fan. Should be faster speed for making them ad money.

I took them up on it, we have killer internet most of the time right next-door to Aquarius Records. Its gone down a few times but they’ve been on top of it coming over to fix things right away.

w00t!

Monkeybrains often toggles a small open access omni from the directional antennas installed on a participating subscriber’s roof. The omni provides free bandwidth for the surrounding area (50 – 150 meters).

Although the omni is extremely throttled when compared to the master directional (15-25Mbps symmetrical) it does provide better than DSL speed

Look for SSID -> MonkeyBrains.net in the Mission air!

Someone near our apartment must have one of these antennae, as we get a decent, unprotected wireless signal from Monkeybrain.net. It’s a convenient backup for when our Comcast router decides to shit the bed, so getting the service might be a big favor to your neighbors.

Earl, yep meraki is OK… benchmark it with speedtest.net: less than 1Mbps? That’s what I get. As far as I know, they are done building their network, so if you don’t get a signal at your home, SOL.

MonkeyBrains in the mission is doing 10 to 20Mbps per residential antenna and actively deploying new devices. We are a tad backlogged, so you may need to re-submit your form to get our attention.

Arjuna, you did get our free offer! Free Internet for 2010 with setup fee for antenna/wire/labor to get it up.

See you at CoffeeBar/Atlas/AquariusRecords/etc!

i didn’t take them up on their free offer, but they are my ISP, and they’re awesome. just like you thought, totally laid back. also, their connections speeds are pretty amazing. i consistently get around 15Mbps, both up and down speeds, and often much better (i’ve seen up to 23 Mbps up…)
their antenna is on the KQED building, i believe, so if you can see that from your roof, you’re all set.
