Wi-Fi in Ukraine
I dug up a most exhaustive list of places, in Kyiv in particular of various coffee-shops and restaurants that offer wi-fi (mostly free, but some charge). It’s a great resource for those trying to get away from the house and do some work (wink Claire) or for travelers who dared to schlep their laptop along. Of the places listed, I often used Babooin and Antresol, the speed was average but the availability more or less stable.
The only donwside to this list is that it’s in Russian ( only basic understanding of Russian is required - to read the name of the establishment highlighted blue on top and the adress on the bottom).
Just got another nice link in Russian-language online newspaper about hotstpots, no info there about prices.

With a quick glance through the list I noticed that Shokoladnytsia that opened on Baseyna near Bessarabsky Rynok was not noted. I have stopped there a number of times when in need…
Note that nearly all WiFI hotspots that use Volia as a provider will be limited… for example you won’t be able to access either Yahoo, Hotmail or G-Mail because of the limitations of in country and out of country hosts…
When I get some more time I will go through the list more carefully, and may ad some other Hot spots in town.
Cheerz!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! If only I could figure out how to upload here adobe files, we could have a list in English that my friend Cata at http://www.ratiu.org/ pointed it out to me.
