Beantown and Wi-Fi: The Five Best Spots for WiMax in Boston

For those out on the town in Boston, finding a suitable spot to stop and get some work done has never been easier

. Because a large student population means countless cafes and spots with Wi-Fi service, it's a whole lot easier to get online in Boston than many other New England cities. The only trouble is that when school is in session, things start to get a bit more complicated. After all, countless students who don't have the money to pay for their own routers mean that wireless networks around the city tend to lag to a veritable crawl. And anyone who needs to get something done won't find that a very helpful way to connect to the web.

Fortunately, there are other options for Bostonians, students, and visitors alike who need to get online with a quickness. Instead of relying on shoddy campus reception, the various different burrito shops that have Wi-Fi, or roommates to actually pay utilities, there are other ways. For those who have invested in WiMax, the coverage that lasts for more than just the city, there are a whole lot more options for surfing the web in Beantown. Here are five great spots to get online for those who aren't beholden to Wi-Fi.

#1 - The Arboretum. Tucked away by Jamaica Plain, a leafy neighborhood to the south, this is the go-to spot once the weather starts to get a bit nice. Managed and run by Harvard, there are plenty of rare plants and flowers to gawk at, and trees to recline under for shade. With vast expanses of grassy knolls and fields, it's a great spot to bring a picnic, and also a nice spot to write a paper or send an email if you're not dependent upon Wi-Fi networks.

#2 - JJ Foley's Fireside Tavern. Also located in Jamaica Plain, this grand old watering hole is the last spot that anyone would think of when it comes to getting online. Wood-paneled walls, a carpet that's seen better days, and some serious characters for bartenders only make Foley's shine that much more. The Christmas potluck makes the joint feel like a real-life Cheers, so it makes sense that it's a welcoming spot for those with laptops who aren't complete yuppies.

#3 - Armani Cafe. Obviously, this Newbury St. stronghold for the affluent doesn't mind shiny new Macs being opened, though it's better to go with WiMax since the Wi-Fi here is lacking. Spend the entire lunch looking bored a whole lot easier by checking email and firing off missives to those in your department at work. An excellent choice for those in Boston only on business, anyone who yearns to return to Europe or New York.

#4 - Any university library. If you can manage to get past the guards without a student ID, here's a nice and somewhat quiet place to get work done. Chances are that anyone under the age of 30 will be able to do this with ease, and it's definitely a life-saver on those chilly or snowy winter Boston days.

#5 - The ICA. With a great view of the waterfront and a prime location in the midst of Boston's latest emerging neighborhood, those looking for a classy vacation experience can't do any better than to take their WiMax connections down here. After checking out the art, there is even a convenient cafe that makes working on whatever needs to be done that much easier.
