Bermuda: New Wi-Fi hotspot

[Salacia]

Hi folks. For those of us cruising to Bermuda, this might be of interest: Horseshoe Bay Beach is now a Wi-Fi hotspot, but it's not free. "Customers at the beach can log on by connecting to the internet and following the Digicel prompts and pay by credit card. Or they can buy a prepaid card at the concession stand at Horseshoe Bay. It’ll cost $2.95 for an hour, $8.95 for the whole day, or $11.95 for a full week." copied from http://www.royalgazette.com/article/20120724/BUSINESS07/707249983H

 

Happy surfing :D

We did that at the Dockyard, the day we ferried there from Hamilton...and couldn't get it to work! :(

According to http://www.royalgazette.com/article/20120814/BUSINESS03/708149967 the entire city of Hamilton is now a wi-fi hot spot.

 

"...To access the network, users should select “WiFiZone by TBi” under their available Wi-Fi networks.

 

Once on the network, they’ll be prompted to go to the TBi website where they can pay by credit card to use the network...."

 

"Visitors and residents alike can access the network at a rate of $3 for an hour, $9.99 for the day, $14.99 for 3 days or $29.99 for a month.

 

For those not wanting to pay with a credit card, vouchers will be available for purchase at City Hall. Soon, they’ll be available at retailers throughout the city."
