Well It looks like Fon updated the login portal once again and to my surprise (note the sarcasm) it still sucks. Yea it looks totally different, but Fon still retains the original "personalization" options or lack of options for the matter of the fact. The portal is very simple (in other words boring). Fon now shows a few disclaimers as well.

I agree with ya, bud. This isn't "better customization". The only difference is that the very small number of elements which Fonero can "customize" are hidden by default, instead of populated by default media.
ReplyDeleteOne advantage is that the login page may no longer be a half megabyte, and should download easier, with less missing elements.
However, Fon really isn't committed to providing us with customization options. By making them so pitiful, Foneros may choose not to customize. Fon then claims that we don't really want to customize our hotspots, and strips more options away.
