Loc: Now in Lagos
Internet connections in Atlantic Ireland, spain and portugal
      03/06/2008 10:41

Well we've finally done it. Finished work and off on a 4 month trip to take the boat down from Scotland to Lagos where we are going to leave it for a while before deciding where to next. Bought a nice asus for wifi connections and an external wifi adapter with a bit more power. After the first week up the east coast and through the canal there were very few (free) wifi points.

Any one got any ideas on web access via phones? Problem will be that we will only be in the UK for a few days then a month in Ireland, a month in Spain and a month in Portugal so roaming charges are expensive. Do we need to get 3g or GPRS access or are we likely to see more free access via Wifi (plan is the west coast of Ireland route)?

......and for all of you who have stayed in Lagos, what is the preferred method of internet access there. Plan is to be there to next summer.

I've done a trawl through the search but its useless compared to what we had last year. Talk about progress.
