I'm on my Chromebook this morning so that I can really type. But holy cow, the wifi here at the conference is PAINFULLY slow. If you thought MangoCon was slow.... nope. This and Dell World a few years ago were much slower.
I didn't bother with the wifi at Mangocon, the timeouts man, nothing but timeouts. The good news is it should be much, much better this year!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I didn't think it could really get worse than MangoCon Wifi. I simply gave up and used cellular data.

Did someone get that contract and upgrade the hotel?

What's wrong with regular LTE cellular data? It's usually more reliable than most public wifi networks anyways. I don't bother switching to wifi unless I have no cell signal.

Signal quality in a lot of buildings is iffy.

Tether it to your phone. That is what I do.

I pay actual usage for my talk, text, and data, so if I have a halfway decent wifi connection I prefer that. Keeps my monthly bill averaging $30/month

This is the main reason that I would like to use WiFi, but Tim is right, most of the "free WiFi" that I've bumped into is horrible. Starbucks WiFi - yeah forget it, it's crap!

I'm very lucky here. The local coffee shop put in Ubiquiti gear. The first time I remember telling someone their tech guy did a great job!

Holy cow, they shown spotlights into the audiences eyes several times to the point that I feel nauseous from it. What the crap. Other people next to be vocally said something about it. Went on for a few minutes. Really awful.

Did you stare into it or close your eyes and look away?

Closed my eyes, but kept opening them thinking it was over and they would get me again.

I'm in the Scale Out session now. But the speaker is really hard to understand.

They really need to fix the mic gain. It's blooming every few minutes.

You would figure that for a tech company conference that they would have all of this other stuff figured out and at top-notch.
