Lie-Fi

When any Wi-Fi connection is so poor that its tantamount to having no Wi-Fi at all.

Man, I'm never travelling with Greyhound again! They had Lie-Fi in their buses and their stations.

lie-fi

A wifi network that has no functioning Internet connection.

My iPhone is connected to the BUBBLES network but it can't send this belated birthday email to my girlfriend. This connection must be lie-fi. Argh!
