Oh man, Mountain View. I remember how the quality was already a joke in 2011. The network's completely gone today.
In fact, I think XKCD's "Wifi vs. Cellular" [1] strip summarizes the situation perfectly. Nowadays I frequently disable wifi on my phone in problematic areas of my house or work, because LTE works better. Makes me wish for a femtocell...
That said, I assume Google is bringing lessons learned with their Access infrastructure work along with WiFi optimization as showcased in their Home hub, and things will work better this time around.
