Internet Access Tips for Travellers

If you are travelling and need to connect to the internet here are a series of helpful tips to help avoid unwanted surprises. Consider using a public wi-fi instead of your hotel's connection which may have blocks on how much broadband you can use. If the hotel offers a wired Ethernet connection chances are that will give you a better service. A troubleshooting tip if your internet stops working is to check the roaming settings on the computer, certain restrictions may prevent email from working.
Finally, don't underestimate the value of local storage. Don't keep important documents in in a cloud file, bring a backup on your computer or in a hard drive. However, depending on your travel plans and how long you want to stay, it seems like the best way to get good, reliable internet access is to invest in a local plan when you arrive in location. Each country has its own rates and you want to be sure you are paying the least possible, just make sure the technical support has an English speaking option.
