Anyone find that some hotel connections have poor downloads? Even downloading podcasts can be slow.

Seems it would make more sense for people traveling on business, having nice business hotel rooms paid for, then leisure travel.

Besides which you'd want to do something else than watching a lot of TV from back home on a laptop screen.

Or it's not bad tuning into some channels you can't get in the US, like in other languages or CNN International or BBC.

Or just rip some DVDs to the laptop before you leave.
