This could go to tech/gabmain board etc -- heads up on working in a "hotel/motel" - nn

First off, a bit of a background  -- lost my wonderful, steady job to being "morphed" in February.  I have been looking for a job, applied for unemployment and finally got it this past week.  However, last week, my roommate asked me to leave.  I went to a "national chain motel;" (Super 8) on Tuesday, after calling them Monday and telling them VERY SPECIFICALLY what I needed in terms of "high speed internet."  DSL or cable and NO satellelite  -- well, get down there late Tuesday afternoon (after getting lost in the Miami area), check in, hook up computer, ready to work -- SLOOOOW connection!!!  I called the front desk, asked them what type of connection they had; i.e., cable, DSL, satellite  -- "they didn't know."  (There were also other problems besides the internet) and I reported this to their corporate office.  To make a long story short, at 11 a.m. EST, the manager came to my room and "evicted me," because of the complaints I had made regarding the service and room in general.  He gave me until 2 p.m. to leave, and it was a scramble finding an affordable room.  I contacted a motel right next door to the Super 8 and lo and behold  -- cable internet and FULL cable channels for $10 a night less.  It's not "the Ritz," but has a bigger fridge and a microwave at a much cheaper price.

I did not mean for this to be long, but I know a lot of MTs work when they vacation and I have learned that when companies say "no satellite or air cards," I see what they are saying.  CHECK before you make that hotel reservation to make sure that it is a dedicated cable/DSL router type of connection.  It will save headaches in the long run and I apologize for this being long.
