2. Form a team to identify the public
locations (such as an airport, public library, or café) in
your area where wireless LAN connections are available. Visit
at least two locations and write a brief paragraph
discussing your experience at each location trying to connect to
the Internet.
Answer:
JavaJive,
1.18 Centron Building Eldpidio Quirino, Davao City.
JavaJive is a coffee shop that
provides wireless internet connection to customers inside. The customers should
buy at least one product for them to get the password for the WiFi. The
password is printed in the receipt after a customer buys a product. The
customers are able to use the WiFi whenever because the password won't change
and even if you don't buy a product in your next visit, you could still use the
WiFi but of course you should really buy a product because the WiFi is for the
customers. The internet connection has moderate speed, facebooking is not a
problem because it loads quickly and the photos are loaded quickly. Youtube is
also good but you should really buffer the video because it is slow.
SM
City Davao Quimpo Blvd. SM is a big mall in Davao City that gives free wireless
internet connection to visitors. Every devices that are connected are given 1
Hour connection and is refreshed daily. After using the 1 Hour free connection,
you cannot anymore load any application or pages because your device is already
cut off. The WiFi signal is good in my device when I am in the McDonald's and
at the 2nd floor of the mall but some areas has bad signal. Even though there
is a good signal in McDonald's, still the internet connection is bad I think
this is because of the mass of usage are too many. Facebooking is bad, really
bad, I think I'm just used to a fast internet connection that's why I can't
handle the slow loading of facebook in SM. You should really wait for a couple
of minutes for a single operation to completely load. I did not attempt to open
youtube because I don't want to get disappointed so after opening facebook in
SM and felt the mini-disappointment, I turned my WiFi off already.
