This is one of the more recognizeable signs - the 网(wăng) part means network and 吧 (bā) is bar. (There are lots of 咖啡吧 (kāfēi bā、coffee bars) as well.) Foreigners may be asked for their passports to sign in. The counter person will not usually speak english but you give them a ten kuai note, then they will give you a card with a password, and then when you leave you get your change from the ten. I've never been charged more than one kuai for a session.
Though it is 比较贵 (bĭjiào guì、 comparatively expensive) because you need to buy a drink or something I am more often connected via a wireless signal from 星巴克(xīng bā kè、 Starbucks). Except for the Tianfu Square branch, which is crazy busy right now because people are still on holidays, Starbucks is such a nice familiar feeling place complete with clean western style washrooms. A small tea is twelve kuai.
