Internet
There are several Internet service providers in Kemerovo, most famous of whom are: '8-17' service, Polenet, Kemerovo Telegraph and StarTrek (funny, eh? - unfortunately, there are no clingons at reception there).
8-17 is by far the most customer-friendly service - you don't have to go anywhere, sign contracts etc. You simply set up your system to dial 8-17 with username 'guest' and password 'anonymous' and voi la!
Polenet sells so-called 'Internet cards' - the cards with username and password providing access for specific amount of time (card volume). Relatively cheap and available in many shops around the city.
