I've yet to find an hotel with three different kind of Hi-speed access, so the "higher speed offering" was, in all case, the highest available (of two).

Agreed, they don't say anything about limiting the number of devices connected, but the T&C states that the member will enjoy complimentary in-room access. It's easy to share a connection between computers so it shouldn't be a problem anyway, but I would certainly complain (on principle) if I wasn't offered hi-speed internet access as stated but "hi speed internet access limited to one device" which is clearly more restricted than written (even if not a problem nowadays).

And I would complain more if I was offered a 10-minutes access code to Internet, with the clerk saying that they didn't write that Internet access was to be offered all the time during the stay.
