because of my company's contract with Courtyard By Marriott, I stay there a couple dozen times a year.(usually 2 to 5 days each time) At most locations, I get somewhere between 500kbps to 1.2mbps download speed. There are a couple of Courtyards where I got 5mpbs+ download.
what kind of speeds do other hotel chains offer?
thanks!

It's purely a function of whatever local provider the hotel is using. Typically it's a "business class" hookup from the local cable/DSL provider. So whatever that ISP provisions is what the hotel gets. Then that bandwidth is shared to all the hotel guests. So your speeds may vary depending on how many guests are using the broadband connection and what they're doing.

Hotels are allover the place and as Scott ctated, there are no real standards. I did however stay in a hotel in Korea and got something scarey like 30mbit's which is probably the fastest real connection I have had anywhere. I was able to download something HUGE in no time at all, it was quite cool in fact.
