Correct, one should not have expectations of fast reliable internet with low latency in a hotel.
The part that always puzzled me is why a major high-tier chain like Hilton can't get it right, but a Motel 6 can... :)
Ironically, I suspect that it's for the same reason that East Germany has right up to the minute telephony services these days, while West German is still sucking hind tit: The big properties are, over all, likely to skew somewhat older in building construction, and because of that, they're not built/wired for the internal transport; too much rebar in the walls blocking wifi and stuff like that. Plus they have more corporate inertia in actually getting it done. Or, they just don't care. They don't have to. They're... oh, nevermind. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
