10 Mbit/s problem in your network

The reason is Hilton outsources it to AT&T. They don't build the networks for performance in my experience. I have started to avoid some hotels that moved from level3 to AT&T for their Internet providers as they are very slow at peak times. 

Sad as we all know the main cost for 1g to a site is in the optics (well actually the fiber build... But after that, it costs almost nothing to light it at 1g). A pair of 20km optics is about $250. 

Not sure why they deliver such poor service on their wifi products. When talking to their support they always cite extraordinary usage.
