All I am saying is that we have some actual data on typical useage of IETF guests (whether reasonable or not) and we could maybe use this data to judge if an overflow hotel is likely or not going to be able to deal with such a load. Again, nothing scientific and, yes, other "abusers" may exist -- not that I am calling them that. > > In my experience, many, if not most, hotel networks are woefully > underprovisioned.

Well, it may be a starting point, that's all. And since the underlying thread here is "you should have known/told us that the Delta network was going to suck" we can either try give some indication of this or we can simply say "you're on your own". > > That brings me back to three things as being potentially useful: > > -- When a block of rooms is negotiated with a particular hotel, > especially if "free Internet" is part of the negotiation, we > should exert reasonable efforts to be sure that the hotel > understands that we tend to all arrive with computers, than we > tend to be heavy and demanding network users, and that poor or > sucky Internet service is likely to result in a lot of irritated > (and probably irritating) customers.
