Anyone ever use any mobile broadband internet access from the campground at Floras Lake? If so, what company?

Otherwise, anyone tried to buy wireless access from Will's B&B from the campground?

Fuggitaboutit. Tried both Verizon and Cingular broadband with limited luck - kept losing connection and really slow. Verizon was the better option though. Phones don't work well either. I think you may be able to hop on Will's internet for couple bucks a day. Otherwise, first decent connection is Bandon (including couple of coffee shops with free wireless).

I'd say finding a Wifi source in Bandon would be your best bet, there's no wireless networks down there to begin with and like Timo said cell phone reception is even poor, you may get two bars in certain areas but not much more than that.

Down here we don't like connecting with the outside world and we don't like them connecting with us......waite, is this the interweb?
