The reason is Hilton outsources it to AT&T. They don't build the networks fo=
r performance in my experience. I have started to avoid some hotels that mov=
ed from level3 to AT&T for their Internet providers as they are very slow at=
peak times.=20
Sad as we all know the main cost for 1g to a site is in the optics (well act=
ually the fiber build... But after that, it costs almost nothing to light it=
at 1g). A pair of 20km optics is about $250.=20
Not sure why they deliver such poor service on their wifi products. When tal=
king to their support they always cite extraordinary usage.=20
