Not sure whether I should start a separate thread for this, but here goes.

At some point in one of my recent stays, I was given the option for something like "one click internet" at all Marriott properties. I selected it and thought nothing of it.

Since then, every property I've stayed at has connected me immediately to the internet without having to enter the usual room number and last name. Very convenient, but ...

I'm never prompted for the option to select enhanced speed, and the speed I get is definitely NOT enhanced.

I'm assuming that Marriott or one of its partners is tracking my devices' MAC addresses and somehow associating them with my account. If I change the MAC address on my laptop and try to reconnect to the hotel wifi, I get prompted to enter room number and last name, and then get the option to select enhanced performance. The thing is, though, that I don't think I should have to jump through hoops to get a benefit I should get automatically on every stay.

Has anyone else experienced this, or am I hallucinating? I've been to 3 different properties in the last month and none of them prompted me for room/last name when I connected. And when I verified the performance I got vs. the performance received after a MAC address change and sign-in, it was quite apparent that the default is the lower-performance connection.
