At the time I mentioned it in a thread Marriott FTers were supportive of that, because those who were hogging the bandwidth had to pay for it & those who weren't continued to use the free. I don't know if it was ever implemented, however, or what the logistics are by doing it by guest.

Cheers.
I know CY Berlin is doing something like that. They offered free wired internet to everyone which I read from TA people said it's hopeless. They offer Gold/Plat wireless internet for free (I think it costs something like 9,90 EUR per day if you are not elite - sept 2011's price), which is pretty fast.
