internet access in Europe while traveling

UltraCheap_2

Hello,

What is the most cost effective way to accessing the interent on my laptop while traveling in Europe?

So far I have found a deal from Vodaphone which would cost £5 per day plus the £15 per month mobile broadband fee.

The other option I have found is net2roam, but there is a £50 sign-up fee for one year, and then it costs 8p per minute in Europe. http://www.net2roam.com/en/signup.php

I am hoping to find a more affordable option, any ideas?

What about Wireless Hotspots?

Google them for Europe and you will find loads of free locations.

if you search hard enough there might be a POI file (for sat-nav) of hotspots for each country...then again there might not..

I agree that hotspots will be a great option when I can find them, but I am worried that I wont have access when I need it and that is why I am looking at a service that I can pay for - if I can find something that doesn't cost way too much that is.
