As for a 3G card I've been wondering about it, but while the company pays for my internet connection and provides me with a BlackBerry that's generally enough for me :) Yeah - think I’m going to go for a smaller place for my next 2 weeks away on work rather than staying at the Holiday Inn again.

Almost as fast as broadband, faster than many dodgy hotel wireless connections, and many have bundled wifi minutes as well for some network or other. I have the orange one as part of my business package wth them - costs £25 per month for unlimited use - i used to regularly spend twice that a month on hotel connections.

It's always less than the big name ones anyway (I don't get about a bar or being in the centre of town or anything - I travel alone and drinking whilst alone is just as recipe for disaster). Anyway.... These places tend to have Internet these days and normally it's just the owner's residential connection so it tends to be free. If not, well, I just find an "open" router nearby (of course, this is not the official company line but hey ho....).
