"It sucks" is very descriptive and tells me a lot about the wifi service. Wow techcrunch has great investigative journalism. “It sucks” is very descriptive and tells me a lot about the wifi service.

Could you at least have the decency to explain WHY you think the service is such a "crippled mess"? Do you have data rates, latency stats, etc.? What a crappy TC posting.
