The problem with these clubs are not the people inside the PC using up the bandwidth, it is the people stealing the connection from the outside. I was on a project in CLE for 2 years and every time I went to the PC, there were a dozen of people camped out using the WiFi. CO should implement some easy policies that prevent people that are not inside the PC from taking up WiFi bandwidth. A simple entry password (like hotels utilize) could be posted at the front desk and bar to ensure that only members are using the PC's WiFi connection. Having no knowledge of the CO network and how the PCs are connected, I would also guess that excessive VoIP calls could fill the pipe as all the Cisco phones are likely using the same connection.
