I purchased the Metrofi recommended high power ethernet converter to see if I could access the internet. I get NO SIGNAL at all! I live on the third floor of a condo with my windows facing the street. The access point is 320 feet away according to Metrofi but, it is blocked by trees and possibly buildings. I thought I would be high enough that I could still get a weak signal at best, but, I get nothing. That means that no one in my building or in the buildings next to me get it and I would guess that very few of the units in my complex of 157 units will be able to get it. Not quite 95% coverage, I would say.</p> I live in Foster City. I purchased the Metrofi recommended high power ethernet converter to see if I could access the internet. I get NO SIGNAL at all!

I think MetroFi hasn’t turned the service on yet – they just did a ceremonial announcement yesterday.

With MuniFi spreading more and more, what does the future hold for FON in the U.S. at least?
