Preface:
I was in Gilbert for business. After working on site I had to come back to my room and use the internet for a bunch of follow up stuff, etc...
The internet here is terrible. I was pulling down less than .2 mbs. I switched over to 3G and I was getting triple the speed than connecting directly into the Hamptonn Inn's DSL.
It was so bad that I called the front desk. The front desk person told me he use to work for a DSL company and my machine must be broken. I checked in with my co-worker and he to was having issues. I called back and explained that I couldn't get a good enough connection to get my work done. He checked and said that he was also getting crappy connection downstairs, and he could give me the IT phone number...
WHY DO I NEED THE IT PHONE NUMBER! To add insult to injury, I ended up running down to the Starbucks, sitting outside, and connecting to their free wireless.
Now if you don't need the Internet for your business trip, this facility is nice. The rooms are clean, and well sized. They have fresh coffee in the morning. However it is unacceptable that they couldn't provide us with decent throughput, and when asked, was told "Go call our IT!"
I'm avoiding the Hampton inn/Hilton's like the plague...
