The twist I've noticed in recent years is that almost every property I stay in has some sort of free wifi, but it often sucks. You then have to pay to get speeds that suck a little bit less.
Sometimes Gold/Plat/Diamond status bumps you up to a less-sucky speed for free, but sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes I wish the free wifi that comes just for signing up for the loyalty program would load the 2007 Internet, because that's often all it can handle.
Pulling 0.63 Mb/s down right now at an "iPrefer" hotel.
