SOME QUESTIONS & ANSWERS WORTH READING!
I made some inquiries into how well the O’Fallon Wireless service is going. If this is the same thing as Globetel is planing to use for the Armed Forces the problems in bold at the bottom of the page will have to be corrected. Read and decide.

Any updates? How is this wireless network doing? Are they signing up customers? They say the whole city is now hooked up, is that true? Does it work without any flaws?
Thanks.

Honestly, Jim, I have no idea. My head has been wrapped around the whole Highland Terrace/King Arthur’s Court debacle.

But I will look into it by this weekend. I promise! I’d like to know more about it myself. If it’s going to be cheaper than my DSL, I’ll take it.

Actually, yes.

According to Mr. Mark O’Neil of O’Fallon Wireless (Network 1), all of O’Fallon is currently covered and services are available to all.

The first 30 days are free, and the prices are listed on the web site.
Standard: $19.95/month
Classic: $24.95/month
Premium: $49.95/month
With an additional setup fee of $45.00.

According to friends of mine, the service is just as advertised, and most technical problems are user related. Also, the system is available outside of O’Fallon where the signal leaks out of the City limits.

That’s what I have for now, I’ll call Mr. O’Neil on Monday to see what else I can find out.

O’Fallon Wireless Covers “Most” Of The City
Posted by Scott E. Lee on [ Monday - 07 April 2008 ]



I just got off the phone with Mr. Mark O’Neil of ofallonwireless (Network 1). I got all of the information I think you’ve been asking about since I first brought it up. According to Mr. O’Neil:

All of O’Fallon is covered except for some areas at the extreme south end of town (say south of 40)

The different prices are for different speeds:
Standard: $19.95/month for 1 meg srevice
Classic: $24.95/month for 3 meg service
Premium: $49.95/month for 6 meg service

All service levels have a set-up fee of $45.00 and that includes a desktop USB wireless receiver.

Your results may vary due to geographical situations and location within your home.
That means that if you live at the bottom of a hollow, and you’re trying to connect from your basement, you might lose some connectivity.
To quote Mr. Scott, “Ya canna change tha laws of physics, Cap’n.“

The only reported problems have been with “Acts of God”, like lightning strikes on high lines.

If you’re close to the borders of O’Fallon and you can receive a signal, you can sign up.

Network 1 is also going in in other local municipalities and they will be rolling out a new web site under the moniker Network 1 Wireless.

Works with Windows and OSX

If you are interested in signing up, or if you have any questions, call Mr. O’Neil at O’Fallon Wireless: 636-614-1364, or visit their web site: https://www.ofallonwireless.com/Payment/?Portal=Ofallon
