Some of us don't get vacations - we always work - so we always need the Internet.
If the hotel advertises it - then it should be available. Otherwise, they can really hurt those who don't have "paid vacations" From: Don Ely [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2009 9:19 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: The future is here I depend on it when I am at work, when I'm on vacation I wish it didn't exist...

No internet access in our room, wired or wireless. Had to go to the lobby to get a wireless connection and then it was out a couple of days. They sure didn't put their money in internet access. ________________________________ From: Leif Wahlberg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Fri 10/9/2009 1:39 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: The future is here I am in Korea on a gig and is staying at a hotel in New Songdo City. When I plugged my laptop into the network cable at the work desk and then checked my connection it showed me that I had a public IP and when I did an ADSL speed test, it gave me 80 Mbps in and 15 Mbps out. Now that will give me a very nice VPN back to HQ. The only drawback is that the power outlet at the desk is controlled by the key card holder at the door. I enter the room, put my key card in the holder and I have power. I tried leaving a card board dummy there, but the room maid removes it when they service the room. Solution: There is a "hot" power outlet behind the minibar refrigerator. Get an extension cord and you can leave your notebook and router on while you leave your room. This is definitely the hotel of the future. I have never seen these speeds at hotels in the US. What is your experience? Leif Admin by default Leif T.
