      "Fountain Square is an excellent place. Good view, good condos, good everything. But, with the amount of people living here now, the internet is absolutely atrocious outside of viewing webpages. During "normal" internet times a person cannot even view youtube videos, play a game, or anything outside of viewing text because of all the bandwidth being sucked up by the amount of people on it. It has been brought up multiple times and they refuse to fix it as it is "A known issue and it will be fixed eventually". So i repeat, do not move here if you want use of the internet."
