In Marina Piccola, a French tourist couple is desperately trying to get online. At Prima Fermata, a mother wants to "get away" from her children for a couple of hours, but she can't access Netflix: her umbrella appears and disappears intermittently, like a Christmas tree. And even when it does appear, the internet connection is constantly lacking.

Leaving Poetto, the situation in the center doesn't change: on Via Roma the service is off but "due to ongoing redevelopment work . The Municipality has already planned to replace the equipment, which will be reinstalled once the work is completed and testing is complete." In the brand new Piazza Matteotti a good dose of luck (and patience) is required; you can use the network in Palazzo Bacaredda, but it often runs at irregular intervals.

Things are much worse in Piazza Costituzione, under the Bastione, but also on the other side of the city, in Terramaini Park, for example, where you can't even get a connection: among those available, whether closed or open, the free one in Cagliari doesn't appear even after a long wait (five minutes).

Anywhere around the city, unless you're in a public office, bar, restaurant, or hotel, it's very difficult to connect to one of the over one hundred hotspots on the city's free network (free Wi-Fi Cagliari).
