Our latest battlefront is the <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Sheraton+Frankfurt+Hotels+%26+Towers/ian/230141">Sheraton Hotel & Tower at Frankfurt Airport</a></b> in Germany, which had the <b>most appallingly bad internet policy and connection</b> we've ever used. <P>Thankfully we got around paying $250 a night for this airport hotel by being a guest of Lufthansa, but we still had the pesky internet charge. And here's the policy: Guests get a free 30 minutes of internet per day in the lobby only. In the rooms, connectivity costs 8 Euro per hour, or a flat 19 Euro for 24 hours.

Naturally, we opted for WiFi. We called the front desk to see how this would work and the clerk said we needed to go downstairs and receive a voucher.<p>That "voucher" costs 9.90 Euros. Once we had returned to our room, we were all set to start surfing. Except the network, which was able to process our log-in voucher info, was not working.
