Slow Hotel Internet Access
-
So the Internet in the hotel is a little slow. The Wifi was so bad that I went to the wired Ethernet. Here is the results in the middle of the day when few people are likely to be on the Internet...
-
This is seriously painful. If anyone is wondering why I am not getting all of my messages...
-
Not the first time I've heard people discussing this at other hotels. I don't believe I've ever been to a hotel that had good Internet Access.
I would bet this is some crappy T1 or worse, DSL line.
-
You'd be better using the 4G off of your phone haha, might be worth it.
-
I'm on hte 4G now. Five bars of 4G here downtown, thankfully.
-
Clearly these hotels and convention centers don't put forth the effort to really make this a usable consideration when a convention is in use.
And the real show doesn't start until tomorrow.
-
Welcome to hotel internet.

I have not had hotel issues like this in years. This is truly slow.

I think that the hotel will be better tomorrow and the convention center worse.

I've noticed that the more expensive hotels (namely Hilton) that I've stayed at have crappier internet but they also would charge me $10/day for internet because they use a per room ADSL connection. the Cheaper hotels seems to have better internet but everyone is on the same network and it's free. It's weird you'd think the more expensive hotels would have better internet.

@scottalanmiller Just offer your services to make it better in exchange for access to all their hotels at a deep discounted rate. Only the best rooms too.

@Bill-Kindle, @scottalanmiller will want the penthouse for free lol.

Living in an apartment complex a few years ago, I thought it would be next to nothing to offer internet to all the units using managed switches where you are able to control each port. You want it, turn it on, don't pay, turn it off. Even then there was a way to deal with it and one a single T1 into the complex.
With today's hardware it's even easier...and in so many cases cheaper.

I haven't seen that each room has it's own DSL line. Most of the higher end hotels use wireless only. For access you have to create a logon to their webportal, etc.
-
Higher end, like Hilton, do WiFi and Ethernet.

Although some places are getting better.
When I was in downtown Atlanta over labor Day this year, I was able to get cellular phone and data services. The last 4 times I was there, it was nearly impossible to make a phone call, as for data, forget about it.
