#2I'd like latency as well as speed. A lot of hotels I have been to have really high ping times.

#3Seems nice, although I have a 60Mbps line at home, and am only getting 30-40 Mbps on the speed test.

Also: censorship and traffic shaping.

Maybe the site should use something like http://www.pingtest.net/

kudu, are you getting 60Mbps at http://www.speedtest.net ?

#7It's hard enough to use availability of free wifi as a booking filter, let alone quality. Wonder if there isn't space for an independent filtering service -- taking the listings from elsewhere and simply sorting by your own criteria.

Yes, latency is very important. We found that there is a strong negative correlation between bandwidth and latency (faster connections tend to have lower response times). That's why we decided to focus on speed first. We are planning to add ping testing as well.

#10The potential downfall of general measurements like this is large conferences like WWDC, where if there's a geek in every room, the whole-hotel performance is going to suffer unless they've provisioned massive peak bandwidth.
(Thinking of the Marriott near Moscone.)
