We Can Maybe Live With Wired, If the Wire's Long Enough

Where: 14750 Conference Center Dr [map], Chantilly, VA, United States, 20151

The WiFi blues strike again. Or more correctly, the lack-of-Wifi blues are what hit self-confessed geek Wayan Vota who threw his hands in the air at the internet access hell of the Marriott Centerville near Washington DC.

This hotel, admittedly, only claims to have guest rooms with wired internet access; WiFi is reserved for public areas. But wired could be okay, if it wasn't for one problem:

This 4 Star hotel only offers 6 feet of Ethernet cable in its rooms. No Wifi, just a too short cable that I was the third person in line to complain about. Marriott, do not be so cheap. If you cannot manage Wifi, at least give us 10 foot cords so we can hack from bed.

Hear, hear. We're guessing slightly longer cables are not going to break the bank as much as all those complaining people not bothering to stay there again.
