High speed? Seven years ago, maybe…

Service and feeds are mismatched.

$12.95 per day for high-speed access in your hotel room is outrageous enough, but it surpasses outrage when the “high-speed” access is more comparable to the speeds obtained through a 56.6 kbps modem.  Yet that’s what I’m paying here at the Eastside Marriott Hotel in New York. I just ran a speed test on the connection. In fact, my download speed was 200 kbps and my upload speed was actually better, at 246 kbps. What a promotion that would make: “Surf the web four times faster than with regular dial-up!”

What a rip-off.
