Kind of amazing how a $80/night hotel offers an included breakfast (with fresh waffles) and working WiFi, and a $180/night hotel has a Starbucks in the lobby and charges an extra $10/night for crappy WiFi.

Not when you understand the clientele. The $180/might hotel is catering mainly to the business class, where they're spending Other People's Money(TM).

I think there are companies that go into hotels and make deals to install internet for free in exchange for the hotels' charging for access on their behalf; that they made those deals many years ago, when ubiquitous internet was in its infancy, and the hotels saw no good reason to discontinue it.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
