Prior to 1st July 2013 change, Free Internet at IC Hotel's was a benefit for Royal Ambassadors only (and was not an Ambassador benefit).
From 1st July 2013, PCR/IHG Golds/Platinums also receive free internet access at both IC and non-IC hotel brands.
Since Ambassador grants GOLD if status not yet obtained by nights/points, Ambasadors will get free internet from 1st July.
Whether staying at IC/CP/HI/HIX brands be prepared that only the slowest speed is for free.
Prior to this July, as RA, despite RA t+c on website saying entitlement if multiple speeds was to slower rate for free, the dozen or so IC's I stay at all offer and gave their fastest internet free to me as an RA.
For July2013 same applied at IC Berlin, as RA, I was allowed the fast 20euro/day rate, instead of having to use the slower and now free 256KB rate.
