All questions relating to the Internet and Melbourne Wireless belong here. If your question is not here, try looking through all of the questions which are listed on TheEvolvingFAQ.Can I access the Internet through Melbourne Wireless?

Uhh, OK, can I share the Internet (and not get into trouble) ?
Yes if you are careful, secure and comply with the law and our Acceptable Use Policy.It is suggested that you use a Virtual Private Network to encrypt your shared Internet connection across the open Melbourne Wireless network.

Melbourne Wireless is NOT an ISP, and can not be considered to be an ISP if your Internet connection is transmitted across it. Please do not make things legally difficult for Melbourne Wireless!
I didn't read the last two questions and I don't pay attention, but I want the Internet on wireless. When do we get the Internet on wireless?
Never.Melbourne Wireless does have a optical fibre based connection to the Internet. However, Melbourne Wireless has higher aspirations than being a mere ISP.
