i7-Haswell. Do you think that is the reason? Considering this thread, I think I get it now why Hilton sees no need to invest in access.

I based my statements on the hotels I have worked in and being involved in some IT operations over the years. A property I deal with recently went through changing vendors - the process I described is exactly what happened. It isn't just the government that does RFPs… Ask your own company what it's process would be for changing Internet providers instead of thinking it would only take a few weeks and no capital budgeting...

W=A Park City. Doesn't use AT&T. Uses CenturyLink. In that area, there are only a few commercial ISP providers.

Currently at Hilton Americas Houston.
Wifi is hosted by AT&T and is certainly usable.

I guess I've been lucky because minus one stay this year (HGI Monterey, CA) I haven't stayed anywhere in the last couple years with noticeably bad Wifi.

Well, HGI (more than one from reading threads up here, incl Colonial Heights, VA) has started tier services. Complimentary for Gold/Diamond and $4.95/day for "Premium" service.
I've noticed sites being much slower in the last couple of weeks here when this started.

Noticed in recent stays in various mid-atlantic properties, tonight included, that complimentary wifi is too slow to support reasonable use of google maps. This is all at properties offering tiered wifi. Haven't tried any streaming of video.

I've stayed at at least 75 Hilton properties over the past five years and the only one in the US that did not use AT&T was the Burlington, VT Hilton..

(Internet is offered through the iBahn interface, but seems to be provided by Ziggo, a cable co.)
