Ubud internet access sucks, that’s my verdict. On this trip I have tried to work at the extremely expensive (90,000rp for 1.5 hours + hot chocolate) Highway, and the other local internet cafes (spend 20 minutes trying to get into my mail).
Your options in this town are horrible, the mom & pop dial-up, being the absolute low end, but the newer ’satelite’ places not doing much better. Highway cleans up with the Ubud expats, who need to get stuff done, but bring your wallet.

Nick, stay clear of peak hours–lunch time, after dinner. The access clogs up then; I’ve been online at 11:30 am, and right at noon, it freezes up. It doesnt matter where you go, the access is the same.
