Hello All,
Everythread I searched for involves ADSL or Cable internet. I will be in a short term apartment for 4 - 6 weeks when I arrive in Seoul. I don't want to connect ADSL or Cable for such a short time. And I will be out of the apartment and out of Seoul about 50 % of the time anyway, so wouldn't want to pay 35,000 a month for full service. Do pre-paid dial-up internet connetions even exist?
Thanks,
Drew

don't bother. Just go to PC Bangs. They're cheap and everywhere. Dial-up is not worth it.

Thanks for the info about PCBangers.
Sometimes I want to send a small file from my computer. Or maybe don't want to get dressed.

Probably not as there is no demand for it. Everyone who lives here is either working for a company in serviced housing or here for a year or more. Or in a hotel, where access to bb internet is an almost given.

If you need to send a small file (I presume you have a laptop) then save it on a disk or CD or MP3 player and then head to the PC Bang. PCB's are everywhere in Korea, there is at least one a block in Seoul and even outside o Seoul they're very common.
