is there ratio between upload/download speed? trying to determine hotel upload speed
Hello! I will be staying in a hotel for few days and called ahead asking about their exact mbps internet speed. Sometimes i think some people are still in the early 90s cause my question is usually met with surprise and weird vibes.All hotels offer "high speed internet" and only further questions determine it is in fact something like...0.80 download or something like 0.65 or less...upon arrival thing sends emails - is all-wow and am talking major usa city not a country cottage in the mountains.Anyway called this hotel and asked and found out that the internet at a cost of about $12 a day will give me 5 mbps download speed. They do not know the UPLOAD at all.It was very frustrating to talk to anyone there so I tried to find some ratio of download speed vs upload speed on the internet. But could not find anything...
So...can anyone guess what the upload speed with 5mpbs download speed could be?Please...
thank you
i wish I could just fly myself over there now and just check - I must do some camming during stay at that hotel...is only four days but cannot afford not to cam...
any ideas?

I don't think this is a default ratio thing. Upload speeds can be all over the place. But if the download is only 5mbps, they probably don't care much about internet speed and therefore I'd assume upload is very very low. Did you ask if they have ethernet ports in the rooms? That would help.
Does anyone have the link to that website where you could name a hotel and they give you internet speeds?

If you head to www.speedtest.net you can check the upload/download speeds. :)

Re: is there ratio between upload/download speed? trying to determine hotel upload sp
the hotelwifi website is a backward website that lists internet speed but probably download -or upload- or a combination of the two - we can throw a coin to guess...
i find this beyond ridiculous - in this day and age when so many make money on the internet (not just camming) great internet is impossible to find almost and people are fucking illiterate!
speedtest i have the app on my ipad but i can only check it when am in hotel alraedy which is something any of these assholes can do too and post on their website what their internet is exactly - this should be a hotel rule!

can anything below 2mbps upload can be even called high speed? i tried to upload a youtube video once in one of these hotels and it took me two hours

Re: is there ratio between upload/download speed? trying to determine hotel upload sp
2 mbps is ridic, it's not High Speed at all IMHO.

Re: is there ratio between upload/download speed? trying to determine hotel upload sp
yes i could ask if it has ethernet port but decided not too cause i can bet $100 they don't know what that is and may think am asking about a breakfast item

Hi Dorothea, I am in a similar situation right now, there is no coverage in my area for real high speed internet so I got a mifi thingy with a data plan, a personal hotspot and the speed is 5mbps download and just 1mbps upload! :( it sucks for uploading videos for sure but I've been able to cam miraculously. Good luck!

Yea..it's no doubt a toss up and has always been a disparity between down load and up load. Moz mentioned a Mifi? I use to own one and I did like the speed on that. This is the one I used for work..

That being said, video represents a lot of data...so if you have any data plan that is not unlimited, it could chew through it pretty quickly...so I'm not sure how practical that setup would be if viewed remotely very much. You'd also need to check the up link capacity of that MiFi...if it is via 3G or less, it may not handle the video uplink very well.

What hotels consider "high speed" is ridiculous. I went on vacation before and thought if I worked a bit, I could stay longer. I went to stream and it was worse than the dial up days. I couldn't work any of the sites because of how slow the internet was.

I know it's pretty awful, and stay away from the hotels closest to the shore/oceans. Those are the worst!

yeah lol! totally! dial up days! with all the money they charge for fucking everything like a soda or early check in fees one might think they could afford to build good internet omg!! these people are sooo stupid! i love staying in hotels and look so awesome in them cause i sleep late and am relaxed but can't do any camming at all because of their ancient "high speed internet" designed for basic email and old myspace pages that are gone like 7 years now so now i can't even stay in a hotel longer than couple of nights ever since started camming - used to stay like 10 days for vacations and order room service guess who is losing money too - ancient hotel systems

when i checked into excalibur a major las vegas hotel (two years ago)which is one of the largest in the worls they actually had a sort of a dial internet there - with that one i put a video for upload and left it overnight and woke up after 8 hours to see is almost uploaded like few seconds left there...

Re: is there ratio between upload/download speed? trying to determine hotel upload sp
btw the 5mbps DOWNLOAD speed in that hotel is actulaly the paid internet girls ($12 every day) they also have a free version of "high speed internet" they proudly told me it is in fact 0.80 download (even 1mbps) -(and if there is any upload with that at all it is probably around 0.25 mbps)

Re: is there ratio between upload/download speed? trying to determine hotel upload sp
Well you also have to consider the people in the hotel using the internet. Have you tried doing AirBnB? I did a search for you with wifi and house. You can update the dates that best suit you. Before book, ask what their internet speeds are since you have to do some work while you are in town.

I used it in Mygirlfund, no problems at all BongaCams seemed to be fine and myfreecams (with good feed jumping to fair to slow sometimes), I haven't tried SM.
But all things considered I think your best bet would be, as Audritwo said, to try to rent Airbnb, also it can turn out nicer too. Good luck!

Keep in mind hotels money maker wasn't the rooms but the VOD for porn & movies. They are losing out on money if they provide great internet, plus keep in mind more people on one system slower it gets. How many rooms in that hotel....
Identity thieves LOVE open wifi centers like hotels. Security can see what ever you are watching & doing on the wifi system, used to date IT guys. Read that agreement that pops up... There is no way SM can work but MFC might.

I'm going to have Whirlez chime in here if she will. She's the one who told me about karma.com
*P.S. I love staying at hotels too.

Re: is there ratio between upload/download speed? trying to determine hotel upload sp
The last time I checked, Karma was about 20 down, 10 up I believe? It can change, depending, but it's always decent for camming I've found. My hotel has usually decent wifi, but it randomly goes out, & of course slows when it's booked heavily

I will try not to log in my banking while am on it but as far as camming go is ok right? Btw spying on me is not so they can go fuck themselves.
Yeah hotels used to make a lot on porn channels but times are changing so they need to adapt. I suggest they do some expensive internet packages - a lot of people will buy super fast internet even for fun only. I think hotels underestimate how much people love internet - these days Netflix is addiction to some and they will pay A lot on vacation to stream their movies easy.i know I would.
My need for fast internet goes way beyond camming. I have a lot of vanilla interests and hobbies and earnings that require reliable internet as well.hotels are making a mistake not adjusting and profiting on this need.
So what did it guys tell you??
