In stayed at Raffles in Mooloolaba, one of the smart accomodation providers that offers wireless broadband in their rooms. I was eager to get back to work when I arrived there (beaches don’t appeal to me), but I couldn’t get my laptop to connect…

…I phoned support, and within an hour a young bloke (the same chap who answered the phone) was at my apartment and fixed it for me - all I needed to do was change my laptop to look for the B version of WiFi as well as the latest, which I think is G).

The company is AccessEzy (not EzyAccess, which is what I keep thinking it is called) - they supply a few hotels in each Australian city, and based on my singular experience I thoroughly recommend them…

…although I have to say I couldn’t get a few sites (like signing in to eBay) working via their service, but that could’ve been my laptop’s settings FAIK.
