Internet Access from China
Hi all,
I am going to go in China, I will bring my laptop. Does somebody know how can I connect to Internet on my hotel by using dialup connection? Is there any free or low cost provider that offers this service? Thank you Daniele |

Most hotels that cater to Western tourists have broad-band internet connections in the room, just like in the West. You may find access to some websites blocked. |

Hi
I have to travel in Shanghai, Beijing and Chaozhou. The problem is I do not still know where I will stay (in which Hotel). My question is it is possible that in China there is no service of dial-up like in Europe where you can connect to Internet everywhere by paying only one local telephone call fee ? Daniele |

Daniele I used GRIC (now GoRemote) 5 years ago in Beijing, Datong, PingYao, Jingsheng, Xi'an, Chengdu, Leshan, Dazu, Chongqing, Yichang, Sanjiang, Longsheng, Guilin, Yangshuo, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and some other cities. But why don't you want to make use of the broadband connection, available in most hotel rooms ? |

There are also dial up, pay-as-you go numbers that change from time to time. Your hotel will know the current ones. Also plenty of Internet cafes. Larry |

The last time I was in China (admittedly four years ago) I found my company's domain name blocked, but I knew the IP address of the web and mail server and could access it that way. |

Yes, It can be a choice but I do not know if in my hotel this will be
available. If yes, do you know how much does it cost? Thank you for your suggestion Daniele |
