I've just been to Amsterdam with my laptop, so here are my finds: The Netherlands Amsterdam Central Area: Free wifi at the Coffeeshop Little Out of town: At the 4 Star Amsterdam Artemis Hotel - a 30 minute tramride away, but only €79 a night for two people in a lovely room -------------------- steve

The free service is limited to 256 kbps and is subject to users accepting and viewing a 15 - 30 second advert every 15 minutes. A paid-for service is also available offering speeds in excess of 500 kbps. Sounds good to me -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

I found that at the Metreon, there were several free connections. -------------------- Jess' Travelogue Jess' Website: publications, upcoming travel etc.

Mayor "Mumbles" Menino plans to wireless the whole city as well, though I don't even think it's needed, all you have to do is basically turn on a computer almost anywhere, and you can hitch hike on a network. -------------------- My travels.

Geez, those brits sure do have some funny ideas. All you have to do is encrypt the network if you don't want others to use it. I wonder how they could find you, but of course, that is also the country that arrests you for using a television without a license. -------------------- My travels. Well, some of them anyway.

I just wanted to know if there is any Wifi Setup and what is there to do there for 8hours?
