Angeles city - Wireless hotspots Angeles city - hotels with wireless hotspot in Angeles city for travelers - America hotel
Traveling north or south in the Philippines - one good spot to make a brake on the way out of country or when arriving into country is Angeles city - more precisely in the neighborhood of Fields Avenue with its many hotels - all nearby airport and Dau bus terminal.
since years my preferred hotel is America Hotel - fields avenue. Since years now America Hotel has a wireless hotspot free for use by its guests. The wireless rage is in all lobby and restaurant area as well as into some of the rooms on the pool side. out of range are rooms in the back section of the hotel.
good service and day and night availability of the maintained wireless hotspot makes this hotel with an open air pool in the center of the building an ideal place for the transit nights going north or south on Luzon island.
ESSID is America
the configuration is simple and all is done by your DHCP
rooms are VERY large - with king size bed, large bath tub, hot and cold water, cable TV, aircon, telephone and 24 hrs room service for food. prices for rooms start at PHP 920 per day (weekly or longer rate).
enjoy traveling efficiently while staying connected to your work, business and loved ones
Many of the rooms have wireless signal - ask for wireless rooms upon reservation if you want to work online, else you may use the lobby or restaurant to do your online work. There is almost no downtime of the network connection and signal is excellent and fast.
America Hotel - Rooms have entry directly from the open air swimming pool area

Improved bandwidth since December 1st 2007 in America Hotel
I realized that we have too many guests using laptops / www and bandwidth was getting narrow. A request to the management for more bandwidth was instantly ( i.e. within less than an hour from my verbal request ) converted into a larger contract with our local ISP to double the existing bandwidth.
More speed - but also more guests/users - here today's speed tests for upload / download after our bandwidth increase:
