boston . facebook . john hancock conference center . wifi
No Facebook?
So, I’m in Boston, at a reasonable hotel – the John Hancock Conference Center. The WiFi for rooms here is busted – understandable to some degree – these old buildings must be tough to retrofit. That said, I have a signal booster or hotspot on the wall *right outside my room* yet I can’t get on the network. Ugh.
So, I’m in the business center. Fine. Aside from not being able to sit here in my skivvies if I want… I do my work email, etc… and then I go to check facebook – uh… what? No Facebook allowed? Why?
Maybe it is just too late but I don’t get it. It isn’t an adult or offensive material thing. Bandwidth maybe? Hmmm… I’ve heard of no wifi, or wifi trouble, but selective filtering of social network sites – is that customer friendly? Sorry JHC, I probably won’t be coming back. That’s just weird.
