Internet Access

The USA and Florida are wired. Nearly every hotel and many restaurants and businesses
offer high-speed internet access. With few exceptions, most hotels and motels offer in-room
wi-fi: generally free of charge, but do check for connection rates.
Many cafes and all McDonald's offer free wi-fi and most transportation hubs are wi-fi hot
spots. Public libraries provide free internet terminals, though sometimes you must get a
temporary nonresident library card ($10).
