MuniWireless reports that Cupertino now has WiFi coverage thruought 75% of the city. Unfortunately, it’s not free, but sounds pretty reasonable at $20 per month for 1Mbps down / 256kbps up. MetroFi is providing the mesh WiFi a/b network, and in addition to selling service direct, is wholesaling the service off to the likes of Earthlink and other ISPs.

I’m pretty impressed to see something this cool back in the bay area…it reminds me of the good old days of Ricochet Wireless, which although pricey, was darn kool. I’ve been envious of all these differerent cities (mostly east coast) planning Metro WiFi, but to see it actually live, TODAY, right next to my ‘hood is pretty cool.

I’m just outside their service area for the time being, but if they start to cover Mountain View and other parts of Silicon Valley, I might just have to try it out. The MetroFi site actually lists the service as available in Cupertino and Santa Clara, but they don’t have any coverage maps up just yet. I would definitely like to check out a coverage map to see exactly what areas they cover.
