[thelist] International Roaming - Reccomendations?

[Garrett Coakley]

Hi all,

Lucky me is off for a three week holiday at xmas (Singapore, 
Australia and Bangkok). I'm going to be bringing my powerbook with me 
as I have some work to do while I'm away (and I'll also be writing a 
travelog, but that's another story), but I'm not having any luck 
sorting out a connection to the 'net.

Unfortunately my current ISP (http://www.madasafish.com/) isn't a 
member of GRIC (http://www.gric.net) or iPass (http://www.ipass.com/) 
at the moment. I've put a request in that it's something they might 
want to look into offering, but that doesn't help me in the short 
term.

I'm trying to avoid signing up with another ISP as I'm extremely 
happy with what I have, but so far, everything I've seen involves 
paying for a fixed minimum term. 

Does anyone have any recommendations or tips where I could start 
looking? 

This is the sort of thing that I'm looking for:

1: No fixed term - It's only for three weeks, I don't want to be 
stuck with a 1 year contract for a service I'm not going to use.

2: Cheap (ish) - Cost doesn't really matter, but it would be nice if 
it didn't cost the earth.

3: Mac friendly - Or at least someone that supplies all the relevant 
info without having to install any software.


TIA.

G.
