FeatherSecure
earthlinkwifi
FeatherByEarthLink
WirelessPhiladelphia (service provided by Earthlink)

With the exception of FeatherSecure, connecting to an AP and trying to visit a webpage brought me to a Feather site to log in. After logging in I was able to browse from any of the above APs so it appears there isn't any disassociation with the networks here yet. I'm guessing it logs your session and keeps it alive until you're inactive. I believe I read somewhere that it said after five minutes.

Pretty neat to have free wifi for the time being!
I have yet to receive an e-mail confirmation. Was that instantaneous? Can you log in to EarthLink's site from any browser to check your account?

I started using it on my N800 immediately after I signed up and before I even got a confirmation email. The confirmatiomation email wasn't an immediate one either.

I can log into Earthlink's Feather site and check my account. No dice on the regular Earthlink.

Well that appeared to be short lived.

Since about a week ago I haven't been able to browse using any Earthlink related services. Just brings me to a page saying to refill my credits. Tried making a second account to no avail. And I'm still using the old firmware by the way but this problem preceded the latest firmware so I don't think that's it.

What I'd really like to see is a Boingo Wireless Client for the N800. However, if Nokia has partnered with Earthlink, I doubt they have much incentive to do a Boingo client.
