Internet connection in India
I've been thinking about taking a portable computer with me to Goa.
But how does one get an internetconnection to it, and at what price?
Have you any advice or experience? Thanks.

Blag your way into the business centre of a hotel plug in and go. If they want to charge you it is usually only peanuts
There are cybercafes all over India and the simplest way to get a connection, albeit often slow, is to connect to the cafe/shop's hub with an ethernet cable. Price and speed of internet connections vary -- outside of the metros you will mainly be 'sharing' a dial-up connection at 20-50 rp/hour. There have been several threads on bringing a lap-top to India in the 'Geek Speak' section here:

Get a RIM prepay phone and a cable... Costs Rs.4000/-
Internet connections are Rs.30/- an hour peak rate and Rs.15/- an hour off peak.
This only works with a proper computer - not with a Mac.

As long as I've got access to a telephone line in India, I just go to the local Post Office and buy Internet time (from 250 rupees upwards, if my memory serves me well - hmmm) then come back homem connect, dial up the number given (for free)- open an account and voila, I'm online. You have to give your address and telephone number over when buying the Internet time - but other than that it's as simple as pie!
