No Internet in Florida Villa – Argh!

August 31, 2009 Posted under: Making Money Online by Caroline Middlebrook

Unfortunately my worst fear was realised when we arrived in the villa in Florida – despite the claims on the website, it does not come with Internet access. Despite many attempts to get my laptop connected I have had to admit defeat and resort to the odd visit to an Internet cafe where I have to use somebody else’s computer.

As a result, there will be no stats post this month and all blog comments and emails will have to wait until around the middle of September. The little time I do have online is reserved for my special people back home :-)

Speak to you all soon!

That sucks when they say one thing and they don’t have it. Most hotels will only have wireless in the main area of the hotel. I stayed in Howard johnson when I went to florida for a night that said they had wireless and it was in their main area. Greg Ellison

How frustrating!

Demand a refund!

I hope YOU ARE enjoying yourself despite the lack of internet connection.

I feel your pain, Caroline. When we moved to CA in a rural area I was on dialup for a couple of months. I forgot how horrible that was so I would also go to the local Internet cafe.

Sorry to hear that, but hopefully you can have a bit more of a relaxing vacation. Sometimes it’s good to unplug for a few days!

Hi Caroline,

You are in Florida, so there should be plenty of places around with free wifi. Panera Bread, for instance, has free wifi (and comfy chairs) at all their locations. Starbucks also offers free wifi if you have a Starbucks card.

No reason to resort to using someone else’s computer when you can find many places around to use your laptop.

Virgin also offers a Broadband2Go service with plans for a few days at a time so you can get Internet access anywhere there is cellular data service. I have the Sprint version and it’s pretty fast — about 1.5Mbit down.

I know it sucks. But look at the bright site. You got a real vacation :)

What is a vacation if you are hooked up to your laptop working.

Hope to see you back soon posting on this blog.

No Internet access??? That is hell. It’s like being deaf and not being able to speak. Hopefully this will change somehow… at least you’ll gain some perspective on life without internet access.

Have fun!

No stats? :(

I just hate when that happens. Luckily I’ve only experienced LOW SPEED “high speed internet” :) When has 512k been “high speed” ? :)

@Greg, we’re not in a hotel tho – this villa place is like a residential housing estate, there’s no central area.

@Erica, the problem is I am here with my brother who is the driver. He did take me to an internet cafe a couple of times but got fed up with that!

@Ravi, it’s not working that I miss – it’s talking to a certain special someone back home who I’m missing like crazy!
