Any hotels in Melb/Syd with free wifi?

Question

Sydney - preferably around Surry hills but that doesn't matter too much. Anywhere in melb is fine.

If you're not too fussy about where you rest your head, you might like to try one of the Budget franchise motels? When I stayed in Adelaide, I booked in to a Budget Motel in St Georges which had free Wi-Fi but I had to sit in the lobby to use it because the signal was too weak in my room, but it was enough to check my email and pay my credit card. You can probably ask them over the phone before you make your booking. Sorry I wasn't any help for the Sydney/Melbourne area... some hotels will have a wall connection though, and you can ask at reception for a network cable. Otherwise, if you're not staying strictly "in town", you might find wireless connections dotted all around the place.

There is also a free Wi-Fi directory updated by users of the directory which lists a lot of cafes and other businesses that have free wireless internet access.
