Some people like to leave their regular lives behind when they travel, so they leave laptops, handheld devices, cell phones and beepers at home. However, many other people either like to stay connected or must stay connected when they travel. This page is for those who need or want to be wired or wirelessed no matter where they are.
Wireless access is not ubiquitous in Vancouver but it is widespread. You'll find it at nearly all coffee places, many restaurants, many hotels, food courts, and general hang outs. And, of course, you'll find it at the local Internet Cafes.
Vancouver Internet Access Options:
