Free Wireless Internet in Sydney and Melbourne

Posted by Ali Sanaei under Australia, Computer Networking

I’ve always been grumbling to myself about the lack of free wireless internet access in Australia.

Thanks to the Company I’m working for; these days I use my 3G network from my laptop to access Internet wherever I am within Australia. Coverage and speeds are sufficient, and my mobile carrier offers 1 GB per month for the price of 10 coffees.

I’m in Sydney right now, I’m not carrying my 3G, and my hotel charges 2 coffees per 30 mins! So I had to do a bit of lookup to see if I can find any free connections around. I’m pleased to see that Unwired are setting up free wireless hotspots in a number of cafes in Sydney and Melbourne. The service is branded as uConnect. Keep an eye out for it. The map on the UnWired website shows a number of locations, but not all. see the map here and enjoy.

Today I was invited by a friend of mine to his daughter’s 1st Birthday party. Everything was good and we all enjoyed our Sunday together. But I also realised that…

…today, 28th October is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Bill Gates and Julia Roberts‘ Birthday too!
