Internet Cafes
Edit ThisOne major problem anyone surfing the net in St. Petersburg faces is low connection/transmission speed. This is due to the fact most of the telephone exchanges have outlived their time. ADSL, leased lines, internet by satellite and other modern Internet Service technologies are fast gaining ground in the city. This is actually where the city's many Cybercafes come in.
This section is dedicated to the standard cybercafes in the city i.e places where foreigners (tourists)can always surf the net.
Sofit
Edit ThisSituated on the Petrogradskaya side of the city, the cafe overlooks the famous Avstriyskaya ploshchad, just at the junction from the bustling Kamennoostrovskii Prospekt to Ulitsa Mira.
It is possible to browse the internet here at a modem speed a little above 56Kps. The cafe has its own server machine and presently has six powerful computers at the client's disposal. The atmosphere is friendly and lively too. Bar and restaurant services are available. You can sip some cold drink while you surf the net.
