I also just got back from a week in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Stayed at the Sheraton Suites. Didn't feel like paying for Internet access in my room and the free Internet in the lobby never worked.
Webster From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: RE: The future is here I just got home from a week in Fort Lauderdale Florida, stayed at a pretty nice resort. 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]] 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.
