$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.

About
I travel for work. I have no fear of flying. I have a paralyzing fear of baggage claim. No matter how successful any given trip may be, there's always some travel provider -- an airline, a hotel, a cab company, somebody who will add a bit of misery to the experience. It's inevitable. I need a place to vent, to kvetch, to complain. This is it. Welcome to my life on the road. If you need to know any more than this, I have a business web site and a blog dedicated to the work I do, and you're welcome to visit either or both. But this blog, this blog is just about business travel. And it isn't pretty.
