Don;t advertise WiFi unless it really works



I am not going to go into a lot of detail but I thought that most places in America had there shit together when it comes to Internet connectivity. I am at a local hotel in New Mexico and they have WiFi. I got to the room and I had a one bar signal. Went looking for there Wifi Hubs and found a bunch of absolute junk hardware. They have 1 lan drop in the building and about 20 repeaters feeding 100+ rooms Thur one 10mps wireless hub. I went on dial-up and got a whopping 21.4 connection. So I say damn I’m batting a 1000 today and with a pile of work to do went looking for a Internet cafe. Non so I decide to do some war driving no luck. Back to the hotel on dial-up obviously whoever set this up for the hotel here sold them a bill of goods and I plan on telling the manager about it in the morning. So I am on very slow dial-up for at least the next 3-4 days.. OUCH
