I feel like I've had the same issues with hotels in general. Internet is commonly subpar, down, or inaccessible in the room. In some countries it was still common to have wired Internet or maybe wifi only in the lobby (sucks if you only brought an iPad with you).

It's not just cheap hotels either, this is pretty common in well known brands - each country has their own policies on how things should be, so (for example) at a Hilton in London you may get free wifi in your room, in Australia the same for $40 a day, and in Brazil poor wifi only in the lobby.
