Problems of Wi-Fi in Nigeria

Today was disappointing(not totally though) why? I tried to connect to the church auditorium's Wi-Fi but to no avail! I saw up to 10 hotspots! while 7 were blocked, the others were 36mbits/sec!!!. Now the problems with that were : #1 the wifi distribution wasn't even and didn't cover a long distance. #2 the speed was whack!!. 32 mbits/sec? ha! even GPRS isn't that slow!. #3 This is kinda personal: Its supoosed to be free!! When I tried to connect, I was redirected to the login page! What about those that need to upload or stream live??!!.When setting up a Wi-Fi connection there are some things you need to consider.I'll mention just a few but I'll go into details in the next post. #1 Data provider #2 Confinements, reflectors like mirrors and shiny surfaces.
