I hope this catches on and it can be used to shame and blame hotel chains. I can't recall a single instance where hotel wifi, let alone wire, as even remotely fast.
These hotels normally charge $20-50 per day of internet and they provide shitty service. It drive me mad. I have learned that you can complain and get some significant bonus points out of it. I wish more people complained about the internet service in order to push for faster speeds and better latency, let alone not having your connection drop.
- yaro2 12y agoThat was the original idea of Hotel WiFi Test: use social media pressure to call out hotels with slow WiFi. That's still an important use case. Then, to our surprise, we found that some hotels provide very good WiFi (and in most cases it is free). Showcasing such hotels is win-win: travellers get fast WiFi, hotels get more business for their effort.
- dman 12y agoIn my experience Microtels have pretty good wifi and I have recently been seeking them out when possible for this very reason.
