I am at the local Daybreak Coffee Roasters this afternoon doing some writing, and can’t believe how slow the provided free, wireless Internet access is. It is a lie and a deception to call this “high speed” wireless Internet access:
It is so bad I am not planning to return to this location to work anymore, unless the Internet access gets a major speed boost. There are lots of coffee shop alternatives around town with free wireless Internet access that actually is “high speed.” This is ridiculous.

One response to “Tearfully Slow Bandwidth”
I don’t know if they would actually do it, but sometimes powering the access point on and off will help. Might not hurt to ask. It worked for me at a local place.
