Hi We just found out one of our party has to have reliable internet contact - she has to check in with work and send attachments! She doesn't mind paying..some resorts have wifi, but in my experience it is usually spotty. Is there anywhere she can go where there is either an internet café or a place she can bring a laptop? again happy to pay! Thanks
If I knew where you were staying this would be easier to answer. Many places have free wifi. Because I stay for weeks, I set up my own in my room. Sure beats going to the lobby.
Xtabi now has it set up so even room #1 has the net, so no problem there!
I am often required to connect to get things done online. Although there is no longer a need for "internet cafes" since most places have wifi - some of the reliable places I rely on are Seastar Inn, Canoe, Travellers Beach Resort, Alfred's Ocean Palace, Fun Holiday, Charela Inn, Firefly, Sea Splash and Gardenia. Be sure to buy a drink or food if your choice is a place that you are not staying.
You may not be able to access the resort wifi from all their rooms, but it is available and as reliable as you can expect - as long as the attachments are not huge in size. Should that be the case, the fastest internet is at Yellow Computer downtown (you pay for usage) and then probably Gardenia.
Most hotels do have reliable internet connections as they rely on it for their business. They often have a second connection for their guests who tend to do bandwidth intensive things like downloading music/videos, video chats and trying to watch streaming video. This may account for some of the unreliability reports...
Mobile hot spot from digicel possible?
Yes, unlock your smartphone, get a Digcel sim card and use your phone as an access point. It is the most secure option as you can be the only one on that connection...
We used my iPhone as a wifi hotspot with a digicel sim and data plan in April. Worked great and it is very reasonably priced.
Thank you everyone. We are staying at country country. Then moving to hedonism! Happy to buy lunch and drinks wherever we go to use the hi-fi thank you for your answers.
