Clearly a person making a comment about high speed Internet not being important in hotel rooms has not tried to stream the type of entertainment generally viewed in a hotel room. You view a "movie" that buffers every 10 seconds, it has a fantastic way of killing the moment.. ;)

It is very often not one paid, but *unreasonably* expensive ($5-10 a *day*). If you don't know this, it's because you either 1) never looked, 2) were always in hotels on group rates where free access was negotiated in the contract or 3) were very very lucky. > 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". One word: "Conventions". No, it really *isn't* acceptable for a hotel not to have decent connectivity these days; would you tolerate a hotel where the power went out from 8-midnight every day?
