Internet connection from the hotel room

Hi technology-oriented BMs,
this subforum is called as Accommodation,Transportation... maybe it is time to rename it as Accommodation, Transportation, Telecommunication

Just found some interesting threads here concerning broadband (is it about 256 kB/s to X MB/sec ?) Internet connection from/to the hotel room.

Indeed, personally I would like to have WiFi connection from my hotel room (802.11 b standard 11 MB/sec, or alternatively 802.11g), but this still remain to wishful thinking in most hotels in Northern Europe and even in Scandinavian countries, what are really advanced in such technology implementation.

But, please share Your experience - can I buy some pre-paid card and dial-up from hotel room some local ISP number?
Then I should pay local phone minute fee according to hotel's pricing policy, and some additional charge to local ISP.

Is that possible in Phuket?

I know that in Phuket, LOS should be the best to forget about your laptop, e-mail address etc, but my current job does not leave for me such a possibility.
So I need to work out for myself some kind of network connection possibility - and GSM Data is definitely out of sight due unbeliveable costs from LOS to Estonia

Please share here Your current experience about Internet connection possibilities from Karon Beach ,

Baltic
