This morning I sent out a message saying that Javaroma WiFi was back. At the time I had no idea how truthful that was so I wanted to check for myself.
Upon arriving at Javaroma just after lunch I was greeted by the manager, who I knew. I asked him if the rumors were true, was WiFi really back. Sure enough he said with a smile, it was. My next question was the one I cared about more, price. Months ago when WiFi was first taken out I suggested that they charge for it to discourage people from abusing the service, later I changed my outlook. The proper way to do it would be to continue offering the service for free but with limitations. Such as no downloading.
Well that is exactly what Javaroma has now done. Now, I unfortunately didn’t stay long enough to test it out, but was told that there would be no downloading only browsing online. Which is fine by me, what ever keeps the costs down while making customers happy.
So Yellowknifers who enjoy getting out of the office or house to do some relaxing internet browsing you are once again able to.
Are you going to take advantage of the free WiFi? Well if you do, I’ll see you there!

Great news.
So what kind of downloading are they blocking? Streaming of YouTube videos as well as downloads of movies and music? I’m going to assume that gaming will be blocked as well.
Yellowknife winter is lookin’ doable again.
I just moved to Yellowknife (from Vancouver) and I can't believe what the price of internet is here. Here I thought living in Vancouver was expensive. I'm only here for a short time (a couple months) and I'm not up to paying $60/month unless I had no choice. Does the library offer wifi? What's your best suggestion for my internet fix?
Yes it is, compared to other providers in the south. Unfortunately NorthwesTel is really our only option. The Library does indeed have free WiFi.
