Correct, one should not have expectations of fast reliable internet with 
low latency in a hotel.

For many reasons:

- internet connectivity at a hotel is just another free amenity like 
after shyave or a hair net, be glad you can at least check your email :-)

- a hotel room is (should be) used for sleeping, having sex, watching 
the tv idly, not for work (except emergencies and the likes), even when 
you're on a work trip. Use an actual office for work.

- such internet connectivity doesn't exist to begin with for the average 
consumer in the USA

Granted if a hotel markets itself as a business hotel in a business area 
it should include at least half decent internet connectivity, otherwise 
forget it and be glad you can spend some time away from the hedonistic 
attractions of "the net".

Greetings,
Jeroen
