After walking around the block earlier in the week, today I went [[warwalking]] from the office to home and back to see what sort of wifi saturation I would find.
I walked down Queen St. to Richmond, left on Richmond to Prince, left on Prince to Kent, left on Kent to University, right on University to Fitzroy, and left on Fitzroy back to the office. Here’s what’s out there:
- 68 wireless access points detected
- 56% open access (38 of 68)
- 44% WEP-enabled (30 of 68)
- Recognizable locations (from the SSID):
- [[Beanz]]
- The Dundee Arms
- [[Formosa Tea House]]
- Inn on the Hill
- Mackenzie Theatre
- Atlantic Technology Centre
- 14 access points didn’t broadcast an SSID.
- 20 access points supported rates up to 54 Mbps
