My laptop is aging and of the wired variety. But I am increasingly concerned about the hodgepodge of wired broadband connections at various Marriott properties. STSN here, Wayport there, Merlot in some other places, etc. And each requires me to change my e-mail settings in a different manner to send e-mail. Plus some of the “highs-speed” connections are incredibly slow. I paid the standard $9.95 last night at the Irvine, CA Marriott and the STSN coonnection was waaaaaay slow. Should have complained but I was in a hurry to leave this morning and just blew it off.
Also, another pet peeve is the almost total lack of anyone on staff who can assist when there is a connection problem. They send up an engineering guy who is usually clueless on the workings of the high speed connection.
Guess this whole HS internet thing is still in it’s infancy and the bugs will eventually be worked out but it’s frustrating on many an occasion.
