However, having stayed at this hotel about 30 times in the past 3 years, the Internet speed has never been as slow as it is today. At 3 in the morning, it took me 15 minutes to download a 2MB email. So maybe this is not as great as it seems. They probably only bought bandwidth to support the average number of paying users, and now that same bandwidth is open to all golds and diamonds.
i guess all properties will now start to increase bandwidth so this shouldn't be too much of a problem in a few months time....
