Free Wifi in Vancouver
Via Todd, here’s a handy wiki of free Vancouver Wifi sites:
Vancouver has a vibrant independent cafe culture, though it’s easy to be discouraged from seeking it out. Persistent rain, boring coffee chains, and expensive wifi services leave many laptop users to dwindle in their homes and offices. This directory is an attempt to bring together all of the area’s great cafes, community spaces, and the like that offer free wireless internet.
There are two cafes in the bottom of my building (at Richards and Pacific)–Zodiac and a crepery–who have unsecured wifi. They don’t advertise it, but the owners don’t mind if you use it.
