Internet at Omni Shoreham Sucks
I'm in Washington DC for the FTC hearing on broadband competition. Hotwire gave me the Omni Shoreham hotel . . . the pre-sales info it divulged said it was a four-star hotel with Internet access.
The Internet access at the Omni Shoreham sucks worse than any hotel I've been at in the last year.
I spent the first hour and a half -- from 10PM to 11:30 PM, grrr -- on hold with the Omni Shoreham's connection provider. The nice technician on the other end kept saying, "My, its busy tonight!" Uh. Duh. Ever think of getting a fatter pipe?
No. More. Omni. Shoreham. Ever. Until they publicly declare they've fixed their Internet connection.
I should mention one other hotel on my "Connection Sucks, Never Stay There" list. The Boulder Broker Inn in Boulder CO. I stayed there last year and had to dial up! I had occasion to check in a couple weeks ago to see if they've fixed their problem, and the nice woman at the Boulder Broker Inn said they still had a problem.

Just have to add that I am staying at the Hyatt in Old Greenwich, CT and it sucks pretty bad. Constant disconnects, slow transfers, my vpn and rdp connections wont stay up more than 10 minutes because of some connection clearing crap they run. The DSL modem under the desk has relays that click all damn night so I have to unplug it to get any sleep.
