Internet Speeds In Hotels/Rooms

Featured Replies

This is a thing I would like to know before booking a hotel or room!

Many nowadays have "free internet" or included in the rate.

But how fast is it?

The speed here at Mosaik Luxury Apartments in Pattaya is really poor (wireless).

It bothers me as the crappy upload speed disturbs VOIP connections.

If you stay in a hotel or guesthouse, serviced apartment, room, etc.

Please run the speedtest and post the result!

Perhaps have True 3G as a backup in these situations. Probably not much more reliable though. :)

ok, if no one is willing to tell the hotel names, this thread can as well be closed.

The speed doesn't depend so much on the location, but much more on the provider, connection type and plan used by the hotel.

I'm not saying where I live until I move out. Otherwise it will soon be full of people seeking a decent connection speed and that will be that!

You asked for the connection stats and I gave them. For what it's worth, the place I'm staying in seems to have its connection capped at 4Mbits, and I connect via one of the 3 wifi access points in the building (one of which hardly ever works, and the third doesnt work at all). The one I am on is "g" and the one that sometimes works is "n". The provider is indicated in the speedtest results and the connection is ADSL. They use a crappy old modem provided by the ISP that hangs every day or so, and I have to log in and reboot it to get it working again. Luckily the hotel didnt change the default modem password and so I can do it from my room without them knowing. The ADSL loses sync several times a day also. I'm not sure why but I suspect the crappy modem.

apparently switching the router on and off for 5 minutes

once a week is good according to one ISP

is this suppose to clear some cache, or what, or nothing at all???

perhaps it logs off those that should not be on or are idle
