    I have a problem I hope someone could help me with

    Most of the time I live in a fairly rural place where broadband speeds are patchy at best - normally not much of a problem for me personally except when I have a software update to download (osx Yosemite - 5.18gigs)

    Need it fast as some software I have won't work with older osx - will be waiting days if I download it at home + it will cost an arm and a leg going over allowance

    Is there anywhere I can get wi-fi either free or paid (as long as cost not totally insane) that would allow me to download the update without renting a place, maybe setting down roots in the community etc

    Currently sitting quite frustrated with the wifi in costa coffee - anywhere I could buy the update on a disk even and transfer it to a USB so I could get it on the computer without this monumental hassle?

    Tks for reply

    Midlands.

    But would be willing to travel - in Dublin a lot.

    Rang apple and they can't send me a disk etc - suggested I try a service center so I'm going to give that a go too - one would think it shouldn't be such a pain in the hole to update ones computer.
