it seems that it has actually become less common for cafes to offer WiFi again

In touristy places wifi is usually available in cafes and there's a correlation between the quality of coffee and the quality of the Internet connection. Best tonic espresso I had in Barcelona was in the divine rays of 300 Mbit wifi6.

The correlation holds surprisingly well but allowances need to be made for "no laptops" places and Italy.



International “free Wi-Fi” is often gated behind some confusing tracking/login pages that are only available in the local language.

Luckily playing the polite dumb tourist often is enough to get someone to enter the “real” Wi-Fi password for the non guest network.

Or sometimes there’s a login via Facebook button you can recognize via logos.

Are we sure that basking in the divine WiFi rays isn't giving us cancer?
