Comment on Hotel Wi-Fi blocking: Marriott is badparent

Comments

Even though we're a major vacation destination, people seem to want to stay in and watch movies or play online games on their expensive vacations. There's basically always a minority of users ruining the connection for everyone else.

Watching movies and playing games away from home does sound like a nice vacation to me.

Ruining is subjective - many hotel wifi networks were provisioned for 2002 style access of web and email, not 2012 where one's mom streams gigs of video. This is why I appreciate the move to free basic wifi and paid premium wifi at some hotels.
