I heard back from the Quality Crown Hotel in Hyde Park about the cost of WiFi. It is GBP 2.99 per hour, or GBP 9.99 for 24 hours. This is about what I was hoping to pay. Well, I was hoping to pay nothing, but this is about the price I was prepared to pay. The per day cap is what I was really after. I would not have been happy with only a per-hour cost. I hope it has a decent speed so I can do SKYPE too… So much cheaper than using a cellphone where I can.

I also have a VoIP phone… I might download the software to run this on my PC… Then I can get 10c calls in Australia for when I need to call and cannot SKYPE.
