Question ID: 138977
G'day,

 I'm after a list of Hotels in Australia that currently do and don't
have High speed Internet in their hotel rooms. I'm Mainly interested
in Corporate Orientated Hotels, Branded hotels or Hotels at least over
3-4 stars.

 If possible, I would like to know if they do have it, who is
providing it and how much are they charging per day for the guest to
use. IF they Don't have it, do they have any kind of Internet and what
are they charging for it.

** Bonus**:
If you can think of any other industry/ Business in Australia that
would require High speed Internet on a revenue share/Lease plan.
Examples 
- New Apartment Buildings
- Office Buildings/ Govt and Mil as well
- Hospitals
.....
Anything where this would be a great fit? 


Cheers

Hi there,

I've ordered the listings like this:


1) Hotels using the biggest provider, Inter-Touch

2) Three that use Room Online

3) A few more with broadband 

4) Chains which are without broadband

5) 4 and 5 star hotels without broadband


INTER-TOUCH
===========
http://www.inter-touch.com/
Broadband, very easy to connect, price caps for 24-hr periods. I
phoned ten random hotels which use this service, and they all had the
same rate:
$1.65 for each 3 minutes, capped at $29 per day
