Minimum specifications of 'Stay Connected' (the Hilton Worldwide Guest Internet program) as of 2017:
- Complimentary access to the hotel’s standard internet connection offering must be provided to all Hilton Honors members with Blue, Silver or Gold level status who have booked through an approved channel. At a minimum, the member must be able to maintain simultaneous active connections on three devices.
- Premium Internet access should be made available to guests at prices that are competitive with prevailing charges in the local market. The recommended maximum daily charge for Premium Internet access (wireless) is US$6.95. Diamond Hilton Honors members who have booked through an approved channel enjoy complimentary access to the hotel’s highest speed (Premium) internet connection offering. At a minimum, the member must be able to maintain simultaneous active connections on three devices.
- Minimum 6 Mbps download/upload (with Premium access) and 2Mbps download/upload (with Standard access).
- Complimentary and Premium wireless Internet access must be available throughout the hotel.
- Wireless Internet access must be installed in all guest accessible interior areas of the hotel to meet a minimum signal strength of -65 dBm (RSSI) on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands with a signal to noise ratio (SNR) of at least 30 dB.
- The hotel is not permitted to apply total data consumption caps on a per user or device basis, throttle speeds by application type, or block/limit access to application types that lead to high bandwidth consumption rates.
- All hotels must set individual bandwidth user caps which enable a minimum of 2 Mbps download/upload or higher for Complimentary Internet access and a minimum of 6 Mbps download/upload or higher for Premium Internet access and have sufficient bandwidth to deliver to that standard. The bandwidth user caps for the Premium offering must always be at least three times higher than the Complimentary offering (example: a 9Mbps download/upload Premium cap setting would be paired with a 3 Mbps download/upload or less Complimentary cap setting).
- Hotels may offer wired access in addition to wireless.

Hilton Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
Hilton PJ - So called "Premium"
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5035900684
Actual connection seems much slower than these numbers would indicate; can't wait for the Marriott to open in PJ
PS. How does everyone get the nice speedtest image on FlyerTalk?

This is NOT good. I'm at Hilton New York Midtown. When checking in I asked for the free Premium Internet for Diamond. I was told that I should sign in with my HHonors credentials and I would have Premium automatically. This has worked fine for me in many hotels, so it was OK. But here it's NOT working. Look at the first Speed test in the attached picture. I got useless snail speed.
After one day with this speed, I complained. They gave me a code to use and see what happened (the second Speed test in the attached picture)!
