Question reminds me of when I worked in Vietnam (Hanoi) many moons ago.
One of the first times I tried to use (dial up) internet access on the "company" Compaq laptop.
No joy via the hotel room phone connection.
I inquired at the lobby how I could get access and 10 mins later this guy appeared who apparently studied Computer Science.
He took me and my laptop to his house where he rigged it up via a host of open circuit boards and a spaggetti junction of wires hanging out of the window. He had a connection in no time!
And top of it it was free! (well, a bottle of Mehkong is just about free)
One very proud vietnamese student!
BOAC, I could give you his house location if that helps?
But that was a long time ago.
