Super-bowl-plans-to-handle-30000-wi-fi-users-at-once-and-sniff-out-rogue-devices

When 73,208 fans file into the New Orleans Superdome for the Super Bowl on Sunday, they'll have to follow the usual rules: no booze, no weapons, no fireworks, and no food (though food and beer can be purchased inside the stadium at exorbitant rates).

They'll also be prevented from bringing in any wireless equipment that might interfere with the proper workings of the Superdome Wi-Fi network. Lots of time and money went into giving ticket holders a wireless connection that rivals the one in their living rooms, and the NFL doesn't want anyone messing it up.

What's the point of having wi-fi at a sports stadium? Surely you're there to watch sport and not browse the web?!

Trying to check the scores from around the country at half time is a nightmare

Did'nt want to start a whole new thread, and am concerned as Saturday's game is a bit of a damp squib for us, the entertainment might be watching the other scores coming in on t'internet from the other games, BUT I and no doubts loads of others can get zilchio connection, so the lucky person in any given area who CAN will be a popular chap/ess :smile:

I wonder if there's a text messaging service that gives you the latest championship scores every ten minutes. Would probably cost £2.50 per match. I think it'd be very popular for the last day of season...

Three is top notch apart from the first 5 minutes of half time.
If my brother's phone signal is anything to go by, O2 at the Amex is shockingly poor (i.e. not even able to text)!

I never had a problem with 3's coverage except for the Blackpool game. I hope it isn't the start of a trend...

I agree with the comments about 3. I never had any problems with the internet when I was with them. Last year I changed to t mobile and although I get a full signal and can phone and text with no problem, internet is a no no.
