Why is hotel internet/cell service always so terrible.
Lots of people concentrated in a small area all trying to use the same resources at the same time. Want fast hotel internet? Try it at 10 am on a weekday (if there are no conferences going on).
The Short Answer
Lots of people concentrated in a small area all trying to use the same resources at the same time. Want fast hotel internet? Try it at 10 am on a weekday (if there are no conferences going on). Some hotels also now cap basic service and want you to pay for faster access. So they have "free" internet but it's only about 2-3mb/s. Ditto for cell phones. A few hundred people in your hotel all trying to use the same cell sites to get better internet than the shitty hotel wifi.
