Correct, one should not have expectations of fast reliable internet with
low latency in a hotel.
For many reasons:
- internet connectivity at a hotel is just another free amenity like
after shyave or a hair net, be glad you can at least check your email :-)
- a hotel room is (should be) used for sleeping, having sex, watching
the tv idly, not for work (except emergencies and the likes), even when
you're on a work trip. Use an actual office for work.
- such internet connectivity doesn't exist to begin with for the average
consumer in the USA
Granted if a hotel markets itself as a business hotel in a business area
it should include at least half decent internet connectivity, otherwise
forget it and be glad you can spend some time away from the hedonistic
attractions of "the net".
