As I stated below, we have been in many, many hotels since April. Why is it that the more you have to pay for an internet access in your room, the worse it seems to be? Currently I’m paying 17 euros for a 24 hour connection, and it is the slowest one in a long time.
In Copenhagen we were on the Radisson SAS and the internet there was free. It was both fast and smooth. The one I’m having now is so slow and unstable that it is downright irritating to be online.
Of all the companies that provide internet access to hotels, Swisscom seems the worst. On their homepage it says that “as an innovative multi-service company Swisscom has leveraged its profound telecoms expertise to offer high-speed Internet-based services to guests and clients of the hospitality industry across Europe and North America.”
What a joke!

You should probably blow off the hotel internet and make a trip to a nearby coffee bar, no?? Staying online using Swisscom might suck the sanity right out of you!! LOL

It fits well with SwissAir losing your luggage.

Aaah! Nothing worse than a bad internet connection or when the site you want is acting up. hermit_style is right you should head for a local book orr coffee shop with wifi. I love the pic of Björk and the polish ice cream cone (beware of brain freeze) so thank you for posting them. Hope you can get settled and maybe bring along some small item to keep in your hotel so you can have a feeling o fsomething steady, maybe a boom box, poster, or souvenir. Any way hope the trip keeps going well and the internet connection holds up its end of the deal.

Jonas,
Matthew must talk about the “Innocence” video contest which ended a month ago.
It consisted to make our own video for the single to be released on the 23rd.
I did one … the prize is a song entirely written by Bjork and Mr. Sèn LOL
Cheers,
Romain
