Following the news story Hotel guests revolting over wi-fi, I would encourage readers here to sign the petition for fair WiFi.
Having stayed in hotels which have free, open WiFi and other (cheap) hotels which have free, restricted WiFi, I see no justification at all for the £17 a day rip off charged by places mentioned in the silicon.com survey and as charged by the Holiday Inn, Luton, M1 J9 where I stayed recently.
Free WiFi is readily available in the US and the costs of providing it are nothing like £17 a day. The business benefits to the hotel of additional guests attracted to free WiFi as a facility outweigh the cost of the hotel of providing it.
Please support the petition
thanks
Craig
