Maybe this has not caught on in Goa yet? as no one has replied I went to Cambodia in summer and they seemed to have it in most places, we saw lots of people by the pool , in bars etc on thier laptops. If a country with an infrastructure such as Cambodia has it I cannot see that Goa doesn't , anyone know

Shirley. Thanks for your comments. We have never really paid attention and always used the internet cafes, but I had to get a netbook for work, and wondered if it was worth taking it out with us. It seems it would not be worth it, and I may as well leave it at home. Perhaps this will be the next thing in Goa.

Thanks Sue. I will check this out for next time, but that sounds great.

Thinking of taking my laptop with me next year.

I bought a dongle type thing last year, but it was dial up and was dead slow. Also it kept breaking down and I had to go back to the shop, so gave up on it. I tried to purchase a Tata type dongle which is supposed to be much faster, but they wanted so much paperwork that I gave up on that. I intend to use internet cafes once again this year. Maybe they will get their act together sometime.

For the last 4 or five years i have had an Airtel sim card which i used with my laptop and dongle ,but was slow at peak times,but at least it worked from home.I switched to Tata last year and found it a lot better ,again using a mobile sim and dongle,for better reception depending where your situated you can get a extension areal for your dongle and that really improves the reception.
Many internet cafes let you take your laptop in there and connect up to there broadband.
there are some wireless hot spots around i have been told,but never tried them.
