Phillip Greenspun spent some time in the great white north, and ran smack into a hotel with a lousy Internet solution.  C'est domagae.  Unfortunately, this type of disregard for quality Internet service at hotels around the world appears to be getting worse.

Here is Phillip's take:

I'm currently at the Loews Le Concorde hotel in Quebec City, a 424-room business hotel recommended by some guys at the airport.  Nearly every aspect of the hotel operation reflects enormous management attention to detail.  Yet when it comes to Internet access they've outsourced it to a company called DataValet, "a trademark of TravelNet Technologies."  These guys try to hit you up for $20/day for a 100Kbps link but when I tried to connect their authentication server was dead.
