Spiderhouse - jargmarbin comment
we provide the service at Spiderhouse. Spiderhouse gets hundreds of sessions a day - we haven't heard/seen a complaint in a long while. Are you interested in helping us figure this problem out? If so, please call 478-3112. Thanks.

wireless conenction is terrible. I think the servers are friendly enough. But the wireless is so bad I can't go back.

what is up?
Iím trying, but the coffee drinks are just crap here, WI-FI connections is next to none, and they seem to have hired the snootiest people for their staff but I guess they can get away with it since there is no competition close to them for now. Anyone knows of a better place, please post alternative. Otherwise I would have to go home and start saving for my own espresso machine and internet connection.

Love it, but...
Spider House is great, great, great -- I've been coming here for years. But. This new thing where you have to log back into their wifi system every hour: ANNOYING. What's the point? Just put a public hotspot up and leave it alone. Everyone's got to get so creative...

WTF
WTF, this place is a crime, no internet connection rude staff and whatís with all the stains on the furniture. I think the only reason this place is busy is because of its location, I hate to say it but if there is any corner that needs a Starbucks its this one.

Friendly Texan
After finding out the underhanded ways spider house tries to undermine other coffee shops (the latest being the way they tried to plant news in the daily Texan about other coffee shops going out of business) I urge everyone to boycott this place.

first time
Tried for the first time, next to no Internet connection. Completely disgusting, rude staff will never return.

Annoying
Like many places in Austin now, if you are not a regular or a trend setting puke you don't get service. This is of course you've fought to park. Then you have to put up with one of the slowest connectionin town. The owners also own I love viedo and are less to be desired.

Network Upgraded
Oct 13 2005 Network completely reworked and upgraded to 3 mbit/s download, still free, very reliable.

wireless here is just slow and spotty. fun place to hang out .... but don't bank on the internet connection.

World's Slowest Connection
The wifi is just about unusable tonight. So excessively slow. Is someone downloading gigs and gigs of porn somewhere, slowing the whole works down? Who knows. But this is quite frustrating...

SUPER Crowded...
I love Spiderhouse, but they have a severe service problem right now. Seems like they always have lines going out the door with poor students waiting for their joe and cookie. It didn't used to be like this. Maybe I just hit it on the wrong days, but -- wow -- an extra service counter would probably rake in the cash.

Too Crowded, Too Trendy
THE PROS: good food, good selection of alcohol and coffees, interesting art & decor, good music THE CONS: always packed with preppie college kids, noisy, parking shortage, unreliable Internet connection, not very clean, not a good place to read or study

I have to say that SpiderHouse is a really cool place to hang out, write, listen to music and have some yummy veggie food. My only criticism (and this is my first time to be here) is that my connection to their wireless network is really slow. Maybe there are lots of people logged on, which might slow my connection down. But I only get two connection lights (and sometimes none). I'll definitely be coming back but I hope the network speed is an anomaly.

Great connection, and a great coffeehouse that also serves beer! I'm posting this from Spiderhouse right now! The deck outside has power outlets under most of the tables lining the wall of the house--great for long-term sessions. But for the maximum SH experience (and less distraction from passers-by on the deck) you want to settle into one of the cozy, lumpy booths inside, or one of the canopied tables out under the trees.

Yes it's true.
It's true. Spider House has wireless b & g as of April '03. It's Time Warner so it's pretty fast. I set it up - lemme know if you have any comments.

Really?! Finally! The lack of wireless access was just about all that was preventing me from completely moving into the place...
