The sign looked home made, but the connection was fairly fast.

Have anyone elsed noticed these free Wifi sites as they could save you a few quid.
To be honest, I wouldn't want to risk taking my laptop to the Philippines, and anyway, when I'm away on holiday, emails, websites and other non-urgent stuff can wait till I return or until I can reach an internet cafe.

However, last time I was in Hong Kong, I bought a laptop (later sold on EBay) and as I was test driving it later back at the hotel, I think I picked up about 10 un-secured wireless networks! Even here in the UK, if you feel brave enough, I can guarentee if you drive round your local town, you will come across loads of wifi spots, whether they are proper wifi hotspots like MacDonalds have or someone who has a wireless network in their house but forgot to enable any security, so any Tom, Joe or Keith can log on and surf for free
