编译下文如下：

同在一年建国(1949)，爱尔兰电信公司(Eircom)和中国的情形也颇有几分相似，高度概括成3个字，那就是“不免费”。尽管在多数麦当劳餐厅以及电话亭中设有“wifi接收热点”，但是要成功链接上网却不是免费的。

在爱尔兰机场，上30分钟网需要花费€3欧元，但是比起酒店里高达20欧元的上网服务，这已经是很经济了。

爱尔兰电信(Eircom)有一个包月计划，每月预付€30.25欧元即可获得一个账号和密码，在其辐射的网点使用网络。

20分钟免费WIFI
1. insomnia(wifi信号比较弱)
2.星巴克获取密码，免费使用20分钟爱尔兰电信的网络，貌似信号也不强。
3. GuinessWarehouse Bitbuzz Wi-Fi, 要到Guiness旅游者中心所要密码，免费上网时长也是20分钟。

For power internet users like us, a week in Dublin can cause someserious withdrawal and cost some serious dough. Eircom, thelargest telecommunications operator in Ireland, offers over 1,000WiFi hotspots in Ireland including most McDonald’s and most ofDublin’s public phone booths. The catch is that you have to pay inadvance to access them.

At some hubs you will be prompted tomake a payment when you open a browser, like in the Dublin Airportwhich costs around €3 for 30 minutes, others won't let you in atall without being a subscriber.

But when you take into considerationhow much most hotels charge for in room WiFi, (we paid €20 a day atthe Hilton Dublin Hotel for a connection equal to dial up in1999) its a bargain.

Eircom has a monthly subscription plan to their WiFi network for €30.25which gives you a password to access all of their wirelesshotspots.

If you want to use the Eircomservice for free, Insomnia, theStarbucks of Ireland, offers customers a free 20 minute Eircombroadband card to use while in their cafes but you have to ask forit. They don’t advertise the service so most visitors to Dublinnever know about. The locals who have used the card complain aboutthe speeds but slow internet access for free is better than nointernet access at all.
