I haven't tried it, but the Tourist Information Center on the 2nd floor of the New Delhi Rail Station had signs up saying there was wireless.

and in MUSSOORIE/LANDOUR:

Prakash & Co, Sister's Bazaar (near Landour Cantt.) has wireless that I am using right now. For 40rs/hr.

I usually carry my linksys router with me along with my laptop. So wherever I find an ethernet connection, I plug in my router and set up a wi-fi zone...

I am happy to report that Kathmandu has a bunch of new wireless options. Of course, they are not without their special regional brand of complications. In descending order of completeness:
1-Hotel Annapurna, a 5-star on Durbar Marg, has the bestall-round wireless service in their Coffee Shop. The service is FREE for all customers. You can buy a 100NRs pot of tea and sit there in the AC being waited on hand and foot for hours, using the wireless. There is never a problem with the connection and there are plenty of place to plug in. open till 11pm ish.

2-Cafe Galleria is a new spot on Thamel JP Marg. AC, clean and mod, not much to eat but overpriced teas and coffees - but the wireless is free, and again, never a problem with the connection. Open till 10pm ish.

3-The Roadhouse Cafe in Thamel now has wireless at 30Rs/hour; however, in their zeal to go mod they neglected to install any extra plug points. Therefore, the entire place is wireless...but there are only 3 or 4 plug points and most are hidden behind heavy tables. Great planning, guys. Nice ambience, relaxing, open till 10pm. They switch of the wireless unless requested to "on" it. Last week it wasn't working.

4-Himalayan Java on Tridevi Marg still has their wireless, now at 40Rs an hour, but have a crappy attitude and about 25% of the time it's down. Great coffee drinks though. They say they close at 10 but actually kick you out at 9 and are not nice about it. They do have a few more plug points available than Roadhouse.

5-New Orleans Cafe: their "Free" wireless from opening time till 7pm is not so "free" when you get your bill. They charge you 50NRsfor plugging in! It costs about 50NRs a MONTH to plug in a laptop, of course. Some regulars have worked it out where they just don't pay it. Great food, nice ambience, waiters have crappy attitude. Sometimes problem with connection - and oftenverrrry slow.

6-the famous Kathmandu Guest House has overpriced wireless (about 50 NRs per hour)in the terrace. Great surroundings, decent food, indifferent service and the last time I bought the password, I couldn't get it to work.

7-I am listing DREAMS GARDEN last only because I have not tried it out first hand. This beautiful former Raja's private garden has been restored and now charges tourists 180NRs entrance, but it is a real class act of restoration inside. The wireless in the restaurant is 30NRs an hour.

Happy typing!

There is free WiFi at the Fire and Ice Italian restaurant in Kolkata. There is a minimum food/drink charge before they give you the password, though the WiFi itself is free.

sheelap · Oct 10th, 2007, 15:01

i tried coffeeday, but doesnt work.
desperately searching for free spot.
cant get working internet in my apt for last 4mths.

by the way, Reliance Wimax is an absolute failure, and the 'Helpdesk' is no help at all.

divingdog5 · Oct 18th, 2007, 07:19

great thread keep up the good work guys

guru_ash · Dec 23rd, 2007, 21:27

Is it possible to turn these kind of threads into some kind of updatable list rather than having to search through all the posts in a thread? Would be easier to have all the info in the one list.

edwardseco · Dec 23rd, 2007, 23:24

Sounds like you volunteered as we say in HOAs..

guru_ash · Dec 24th, 2007, 19:26

I don't mind compiling one, but whats the best way to keep it up to date? Can multiple people add to a list, and where would I go about creating this list on IM?
