Don’t bank on it for a long time yet. It still doesnt get through building walls close to City Hall and I still have a problem seeing it in the entire house on Union Street. Would be nice though_cant wait to give up cell service for twice to four times the cost.
How much will it cost?
…….to use?
Is that not TBI?
If it is TBI,then it’s $29.95 a month.
(There are also daily and hourly rates).
This is good news for everyone who enjoys going to websites on the Internet! There have been so many times when I’ve been in town on my iPhone, drinkin a soda while wishing that I could go to a site that has funny pictures on it, funny enough to make me laugh while drinkin the soda and look silly to everyone around me! I think I can do this now that the internet will be everywhere in Hamilton!
I agree. This will be extremely beneficial to my in-town-soda-drinking-lolcat-reading experience.

they don’t have a ISP license. how can they legally charge for this service?
Wouldn’t they be essentially operating as a city wide internet cafe?
Maybe they lost the tape where the permission was granted.Or maybe TBI have promised all employees twill vote PELp?
This is not a free service. Don’t be conned.
Wifi… they should concentrate on fixing the blasted roads first! The pot holes, poorly done “resurfacing” and trench work patch ups are horrible!
