Room for cream? Caffeinate your wifi wrap-up

It started out as a pet peeve – I couldn’t find enuf wifi to demo a piece of software. That led to a survey. The survey is apparently never ending…

There’s a new undisputed champion of coffee shop wifi – Breakfast Culture Club at 711 Chapala. They offer roughly twice the download speeds of the runners-up – my test showed >60Mbps. That’s fast. Plus they offer electrical outlets, unlike Handlebar Coffee, which holds down last place in this informal survey.

Besides rip-roaring wifi, Breakfast has a cool vibe with an artsy shark themed interior. The only drawback? Their loyal customers already know about these insane wifi speeds and they’re camped out, plugged in and seem to be in no hurry to leave – yeah, it’s hard to find a table for 2. Get there early.
