<p>Oakland County, Michigan has a municipal wifi rollout. To say that it is terrible is being generous. Not only are the speeds abysmal, but connectivity leaves quite a <i>lot</i> to be desired. Now the powers that be for the deployment suggest that it <a href="http://wifinetnews.com/archives/008134.html">needs another $70m</a> to be finished. </p>

    I'm in Troy right now and I have to walk around the parking lot to even be able to SEE "Oakland Wireless"... But I have never been able to connect to it :-/

    I can see it from my house, but it will never connect. It's pitiful.
