I work for a Hampton Inn in Upstate NY and I have to say, I myself as someone who went to college for IT, find the internet here to be horrendous. We pay an obscene amount of money per month for internet with AT&T and our hotel is only an 80 room hotel so we're small, yet we get terrible speeds. I have to let 3 minute long youtube videos load longer than the video actually is. God forbid you try to watch netflix it takes 20 minutes just to buffer the video so you can watch it, then if you're unlucky which most are you have to re-buffer because your "internet connection has slowed". We have people who stay with us that use the internet everyday for business, video conferencing etc. and all we get is complaints about how slow our internet is (wired and wireless). We've had a guest who has been staying with us for as long as I have work here (a little more than a year now) and he almost left the hotel because of the speed. We even "upgraded" recently to an even more expensive internet. We are paying 1500$ a month for internet. If I was paying that much for internet I would be completely LIVID about the speeds I was getting. I just ran a speed test and we're shooting .29 Mbps. This is just ridiculous but nobody in management listens to the only guy with ANY IT experience what-so-ever. Bogus.
