Re: the economies of scale of a Worldcon, and how to make this topic relevant to Nanog

I think you mean AT&T / wayport. They have ruined a number of hotels that I stay at. When you talk to support they 
always claim "unusual" event load due to the guests involved.

I'm not expecting 50mbps in the room, but not getting past 256k or 512k defeats the purpose of asking me to offload 
their cellular network. (Which seems to not be congested by the same population).
