Ottawa Canada Hi list: Some hotels offer both wired-in and wireless high speed Internet access, others just one or the other or neither. You usually can use a modem to make a dial-up Internet connection, but unless you're just down and uploading e-mail with no file attachments, dial-up is pretty slow if you're used to high speed. Some hotels customarily charge $10 or more per day for high speed Internet, but some waive this if you are a member of their Preferred or Frequent Guest Club. Fairmont gives me free Internet and local telephone calls as I belong to their President's Club. I also get complimentary overnight shoe shine, express check-in and check-out, 10% off on merchandise in their CP shops, which sells nice leather goods like portfolios, club bags and such. Also complimentary room upgrades if available. Some hotels offer a package consisting of High Speed Internet access, local and long distance calls and possibly other things for say $15 or $20 per day. While this may seem expensive, it can be cheap if you make a few telephone calls from your room or suite. Hotel long distance rates can be totally outrageous. Brian Brian K.
