Wireless
Well after connecting to the wireless system in Kath & Pauls house on saturday night I was convinced! so when I got home at 2am, I was straight on to dabs.com ordering my linksys ADSL modem/wireless router.
tonight I've set it up, and what a tool! definitely faster than the BT Voyager ADSL modem it replaced, and with the freedom of wireless connection...can't imagine how I ever lived without it before. All for 79 quid plus vat!...marvelous!

Google for wifi hotspot and you'll find a load of info. There are several commercial providers who charge for access, but there are also some places that give free access -- you just turn up and log on.
Here are a few sites to get started with:

http://www.zdnet.co.uk/specials/wifimap/
http://www.hotspotted.com/directory/

Starbucks is supposed to be WiFi enabled in the UK but I haven't found it to work yet ( only tried at Waterloo )
I plan to do some serious work this summer from my garden via my NetGear wireless router. All I need now is the weather.
Cheers
Mark
