InternetAccessFAQ
Can I access the Internet through Melbourne Wireless?
Not unless you make a private arrangement with a member who is willing to share their connection, you should also have an agreement with any other nodes that are between you and them as a matter of courtesy.
At one time the Melbourne Wireless network did have a connection to a large peering point - the
Victorian Internet Exchange and people were able to access that content (eg, PlanetMirror). But not anymore.Uhh, OK, can I share the Internet (and not get into trouble) ?
Yes if you are careful, secure and comply with the law and your ISP's User Agreement.
It is suggested that you use a Virtual Private Network to encrypt your shared Internet connection across the open Melbourne Wireless network. Remember that you are legally responsible for anything that anyone using your Internet connection does on the Internet, unless you can prove that the person using your connection wasn't you. 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 didnt read the last three questions and i don't pay attention, but I want the internet on wireless. When do we get the Internet on wireless ?
Not at the moment, and most likely never. Melbourne Wireless has higher aspirations than being a mere ISP.
