It may interest year that the hotels I have stayed at so far are providing the free faster Internet for Diamond and FD staff I've spoken to find the new policy as bizarre as I do.
Agree 100% this new policy is just disjointed from any logic. Unless Hilton wanted to make sure they did not have any competitive advantage. Internet speed is very important when picking a hotel.
