A few of the newer or renovated hotels around the lake have improved their WiFi recently. Some of the mid-range places that cater to longer-stay guests tend to have better infrastructure. I'd message a couple of options directly and ask about their current WiFi speed and reliability — most will be honest if you explain you need it for work. Some also have backup options or can recommend nearby co-working spots if their own connection isn't great. The situation changes as places upgrade, so recent direct feedback is useful.

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
