Yes, I live on Aytoun street, one of my flatmates has actually accessed a
wireless network but it is very slow and cuts out frequently. I cannot
access anything at all, my computer is new with a built-in wireless card and
does pick up around 2 or so networks but from what I can see they are just
small home networks I think as they are security protected?
I thought that given my proximity in the city centre I'd be able to pick one
up quite easily?

I am not particularly savy as I'm fairly new to wireless so if there's any
specific info you need then please let me know?

Thanks for your help.

I am having trouble connecting to any wireless networks, I live in the city
centre so I was wondering if you could shed any light or give any advise for
this?

Thanks

Since this list doesn't seem to be doing much in the way of creating its
own freely-accessible wireless networks in Manchester, is it worth
listing the existing ones somewhere?

If a shop or other premises offers free wifi, it'd make sense to add an
entry to the Open Guide to Manchester, and put it in the Free Wifi
category:
