Well, yeah, for the past few days I have not been drifting. Most of the time I rely on free WIFI wherever I might be, even if it is in a library or a restaurant.

Good point on the webcam. People love webcams especially if they are considering a trip. Bermuda has nothing interesting. A Horseshoe Bay, A Dockyard & a Front Street from BNTB or HSBC would be well worth the investment.

I would have thought that the gov. would have paid for this so tourists could be doing free advertising for them uploading pictures of Horseshoe Bay to the world.
I cannot believe there is still no live webcam there.

I won’t dream of taking my electronic toys to the beach. Fine sand, water and electronics don’t mix too well. But kudos to Digicel

Sad inna? People are so full of self importance that they cannot be out of touch from the world for only a few hours.

Try driving the Alaskan Highway. Might as well turn the device off. You can be days of driving through the forests & mountains with no cell service.

It is pitful to see all the people who have no lives walking around with their heads buried in their cellphones oblivious to the world around them.

you’ve obviously never been to wifi hotspots in the states because right now a good price (i mean the lowest you’ll find in public places like airports parks and cafes) is $4.95 so enough with the Bermuda sucks blah blah attitude and tried to appreciate all of the positive in Bermuda

Are people so addicted to their silly electronic toys that they really can’t put them down for a day of relaxation at the beach ? And the beach isn’t exactly the best environment for them either .

What ever happened to the days when people were pissed off because they left their hamburger rolls at home ? ?

You obviously have a much higher travel budget than me. When it comes to hotels, I am more of a Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn Express type of guy. Same beds as 5 star hotels with $15/day WIFI but the WIFI is no extra charge.

This message sent to you via a Missouri state park campground at $17 per night with WIFI at no extra charge.

Good deal

You must be stupid.
Those prices for what they offer – if you look at it from a realistic standpoint, or for someone who actually uses technology regularly; these prices are outstanding.

I for one think this is a brilliant idea.
Bermuda is a tiny place, with the right amount of push the whole island could have a wifi connection.

hotels don’t charge their registered guests and non=guests pay 5 cents/min since the wifi infrastructure is paid for anyway

As someone who has stayed in hotels all over the world, I can say that you will only find free wifi in 3-star (and lower) hotels…period. ALL luxury hotels charge for wi-fi, usually between 15 and 20 dollars a day. It is a huge revenue generator, and most guests don’t complain about it.

I think this is a great thing for Horseshoe Bay Beach. They COULD have charged an arm and a leg for the service and people still would have used it…kudos for keeping the price reasonable.

I don’t know where you’re staying, Trinagle, but at all the hotels I’ve stayed at, almost none have offered Wi-Fi for under $15 a day—and I think that’s reasonable! But, as usual, Triangle, you find something to complain about…

For what it’s worth, I think this is very good pricing, and less even than some airports I’ve encountered that charge for Wi-Fi.

wow you missed the point buddie.
I only want a couple of hours to pass the time on my iPad.
I could care less what the price is for 24 hours.

Typical for Bermuda. Way overpriced. From time to time in my travels I run into a place, a campground usually that has ‘pay to use’ WIFI. The vast majority these days, like hotels, include WIFI at no extra charge but those that do charge are typically about $3 for 24hours, or about 1/3rd the Bermuda price.

This is so cool..$2.95 for an hour is 50% less than I paid on the beach in Miami last week.I am taking the kids to the beach tomorrow and now I have a cheap way to watch the British Open.Nice!
