This is ridiculous, I hesitated quite a bit posting this, it's like a bad joke.

I am sitting as we speak in a nice coffee shop in the new Larnaca airport, very nice place,
clean, classy and organized. A delicious mochachino costs 4.8 euros, not bad.

Throughout the airport, there's -one- WiFi prodiver, the AP is named "MTN_WiFi"
1. You open your browser and have to click "continue" on a page loaded with crap.
2. You have to make a new user account (wot?). You privide your user/pass, continue.
3. And voila! You are free to choose one of the following:
30 minutes - 5 euros
1 hour - 8 euros
2 hours - 12 euros
WHAT THE HOLY FUCK?!?!?
8 euros (11.6 dollars) an hour?
but there's more..
4. Next page, payment. VISA only! FFS! %$#%@$#%$#
How the fuck am I going to transfer money from my savings to my current account without internet? Call a friend, ask his card number as calm as possible, type it in..
but there's even more...
5. So what what does this connection that costs for 1 hour as much as 1/3 of my dsl bill for a month?
www.speedtest.net and the result: 1Mbps :S
I don't know what the airport ppl are thinking, what drugs they are on, but you have to know this:
Traveling to or from Cyprus is gonna cost you 12 bucks and hour spent in the airport, waiting, delays, or anything.
I challenge you to find ONE international airport ANYWHERE that doesnt have free wifi, or charges that much.
Can't wait to arrive in Athens...
EDIT: It's official, this is a scam. The connection is slow as shit, and its 4am. It's totally crippled by stupid firewall rules, u basically pay 8e/h to slowly browse facebook.

ReplyDeleteακριβώς όπως το αεροδρόμιο των 700 εκατμυρίων του Σιακόλα είναι δικό "μας"
ReplyDeleteέτσι και η περιοχή του Αρχαγγέλου του αγίου jykkoy που κοφκει τωρά 147 οικόπεδα δις ευρώ είναι δική "μας"
έτσι θα είναι δική "μας"
και η καρπασία η μόρφου και ό,τι άλλο "μας" δώστοὒν (ποιοί;)
μην ξεχνάμε ότι στο "μας" περιλαμβάνεται και ο σιακόλας ο μάστρε γιώρκος ο πελεκάνος ο παρασκευαίδης η κυρία αντρούλλα η καθαρίστρια η κυρία τταλλού η νηπιοαγωγός και ο λεπτός εστέιτς
όλοι "μας" ένα πράγμα είμαστε
φίλε μου καλέ αυτό που αναδεικνύεις ακριβώς φανερώνει την σαπίλα αυτού του συστήματος του οικονομικού
Κάτι ακόμα, επειδή εγώ δε πολυχρησιμοποιώ net στα αεροδρόμια, στο νέο αεροδρόμιο να ξέρετε πως δεν μπορείτε να καπνίσετε πουθενά!!
ReplyDelete@Pause,
ReplyDeleteαυτό ήταν μοιραίο, πλέον το κάπνισμα έχει απαγορευτεί σε κάθε κλειστό δημόσιο χώρο στην Κύπρο.
actually free internet in airports DOESN'T EXIST, anywhere in an airport, u have to pay...twra to poso akriva k to posoi providers en apla thema antagonism...
ReplyDeletebigbip, είναι δωρεάν για 45 (30 δεν είμαι σίγουρος) λεπτά στο Ελ. Βενιζέλος στην Αθήνα. Αφού περάσει ο χρόνος θα πρέπει να περιμένεις λίγο για να μπορέσεις να επανασυνδεθείς. ΕΙΝΑΙ ΔΩΡΕΑΝ ΟΜΩΣ!
ReplyDeletewhat, no cyta?? Έπρεπε να έσιει αλλό κανα θκιο providers μέσα, η cyta για τη παράδοση, jie i cablenet για να ρίψει τες τιμές. mtn wifi, πέρκι ναν 3G!
