I'm about to embark on a 6 week hotel stay in Munich. I want to have internet access, but will be stuck if the ISPs will only deal with the phone account holder. In the UK, you can still get 0800 (free call) dial-up where you pay a monthly fee but have unlimited access with a roaming profile. Such a deal might be the cheapest, provided that the hotel does not charge for 0800 calls.
I've got a laptop with built in modem and wireless - which is a start - although I might need a suitable modem cable.
I'll add that I'm used to ADSL at home and the reversion to snail pace dial-up is going to be tough. However, I expect that ADSL will be far to expensive, and much too difficult to arrange for such a short spell.
Any advice gratefully received. As I will be new to Munich then please don't assume any previous knowledge of the German telephone system - I have none.
