    I have used Wayport a few times in hotels while traveling for work. I have often had problems logging on and although I have purchased several days, after the first day I’ve had to sign up again for some reason. The price is pretty average compared with similair services but their service should have more troubleshooting information and be a little more reliable.

    I have used wayport a number of times while staying in hotels, and besides the fact that you have to pay to use it, I was satisfied with it. Other hotels that I have used offered free internet services, but if you are planning on staying in a hotel for a period of time, the prices aren’t too bad for wayport, especially if you need and utilize it often.

    I’ve used Wayport a total of three times while traveling. The primary issue I’ve had, each time, is connection. Since I’m paying a reasonable price to have connection, it’s very frustrating when I cannot have that connection. The price is fair, IF the connection was reliable. Unfortunately, it’s just not. I did ask for assistance the first two trips, and found them to be less than helpful. When support people are telling me stuff they are well aware that I already know, we really accomplish nothing at all. Overall, I cannot recommend it.

    Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, I cannot give a good review of Wayport. Not only do you have to pay, but the service is sketchy at best. The customer service people often have no clue how to help, so if you’re not an expert computer user, you’re out of luck. I now check and see what wi-fi is used at hotels before booking and seriously reconsider if it’s Wayport.

    Wayport was the only service provider available when I was staying at a hotel recently, and I wasn’t pleased. The connection was pretty reliable, but for what I paid for it, the support and speed were really subpar, and I wasn’t able to get on my MMOs due to high latency. I’ve had to start checking out what provider serves hotels I want to book at and look to see if I can find better service somehow else.

    I have used Wayport once and it will be the last time. For the quality of service that one receives it should really be free. The connection is extremely unreliable. When I got in contact with customer service, they went so far as to say that it was a problem with my computer. I too will reconsider booking a hotel if their wi-fi is Wayport.

    Well, i went on a trip last month. and wayport happened to be the only high speed internet provider. Had no choice but to use it. Overall i think they were Ok. I didn’t experience any difficulties as others stated here. But i think for the speed they have, it was a little over priced. Hopefully the company will increase the speed and lower the price a bit.

    I tend to travel a lot and use my job requires me to use the internet. I used Wayport on my last trip and was less than satisfied. The cost wasn’t the highest ever, but I could not get a strong connection and it to too long for websites to load. I would not want to use Wayport again. It was not a good value for the money.

    Wayport gets an overall high score because they are fairly reliable and fairly widely available. My problem with Wayport is that unlike other AT&T access points which provide free wifi to AT&T users Wayport does not. Even a discount would have been nice to recognize loyalty to AT&T. Overall though this is an acceptable service provider.

    I am a hotel executive and my company uses Wayport. Often I am at other hotels doing property conversions and many of these do not use Wayport. The best thing about doing takeovers is not having to deal with Wayport. It is a real pain in the u know what. I often get fed up with it trying to work out of my room, so I boot the GM out of his office and connect directly through their provider.

    I have only used this service once, but I must agree with several of the others about connection. I paid for the service which was not bad, but the connection was not great. I had so much difficulty getting connected that I became very ill. I went to the manager hoping to get help there. I found none. I finally went to a local cafe that was open and offered free internet and completed my work. Needless to say, they didn’t refund my money.

    I’ve used wayport on several occesions while staying at resorts. Every time I have used Wayport the latency has been so bad I wished I brought my modem; 56kbs has never looked so good in my life. It has been anywhere between 300ms which I can live with up to 19s.
