Very exciting to see the door tags showing up! Here are answers to some of your initial questions: 1.Is the access billed on a per-computer basis? Is there a discount for multiple computers? >No, it is not billed per-computer; it's one rate for your household connection out to the network. 2. Can I reroute the Earthlink Wi-Fi through my current wireless router to let all my computers use the access? >If you are using the CPE device (basically an antenna that's much more powerful than most consumer wi-fi cards) which would come with your service, you can connect that to your router and supply access to the devices using the router, without any additional fees. I'm working on getting you some instructions for how to do that. 3. How is the signal around town? See the coverage map here. >The coverage map will be updated as new areas become available, and in parallel to expanding the coverage we also work to optimize the existing areas on an ongoing basis.
