Internet @ YVR

Posted on September 24, 2007

Who needs an iPhone? Canada sure doesn’t. What with all the crazy high-tek stuff we’ve got going on here. Just check out the superwikkidawesome internet access at the Vancouver International Airport.

    You seem to forget that YVR offers free Wi-Fi…

    Not all of us carry our laptops whenever we have to fly somewhere ;)

    It’s not just Canada. It’s all of freaking North America.

    We have those same kind of crappy computers in our airports here in the US, too.

    I want JAPAN’S CYBER CAFE STUFF.

    @rtd13 — i don’t get outta bed for anything less than 3G.

    @grigory — free wi-fi in YVR? wot? that’s rubbish! i need proof. proof i tell you. i’m going there on Friday so i shall call your bluff and then we’ll see who’s laughing. ha !

    @mcclaud — i hear ya. though, fortunately, for me i live across the road from a wired cafe. even though i have uber fast internet at home, i often take my MB over there and order water just to feel like i’m stealing wi-fi again. it makes me feel more like myself.
