Internext Exhibitors Are You Getting Internet Access For Your Booth? - GoFuckYourself.com

GTS Mark · 08-09-2004, 11:28 AM

According to the information we have here, it's $750 US for an internet connection at our booth for 3 days.

Am I the only one that thinks that amount is a little obscene to charge for Internet Access for 3 days. Breaks down to being $250 a day!!

Is anyone bringing a wireless router? If so give me a shout, I will pay for part of your connection if we can share.

It costs much more in Vegas

johndoebob · 08-09-2004, 11:32 AM

Common exhibitioner rip off, they all want to make money...

boneprone · 08-09-2004, 11:32 AM

Watch out for the Westin Wireless Router Police!!!!

Bugbee · 08-09-2004, 11:33 AM

$750 0and that is with 1 IP connectivity is not that great anyway. But it is what it is. Good Luck

NaughtyAmerica · 08-09-2004, 11:33 AM

What a joke....

I'm fine with people making money, but this quite frankly is an obscene amount of money for 3 days worth of internet access.

Call me a cheap fuck, but that's just my

Ok you're a Cheap fuck ............. Happy ??

J/K
I know what you mean, its not what you make its what you keep! It is rather excessive, but its like that at most shows

emthree · 08-09-2004, 01:05 PM

Send a few million mails directly off their servers, you'll cover the costs.

Actually, that's a great idea if broken down amount multiple booths.
Not like you're doing anything amazingly special, to jack up their bandwidth bill or anything of the sort.

ronaldo · 08-09-2004, 01:18 PM

Set up a demo in your room and send them up there.

Only $10 a day.

Yeah, high speed internet access.

It was only $10 a day last year, so the price may have gone up.

Just think JFK, you can upload your pics everyday to FUBAR

loverboy · 08-09-2004, 01:49 PM

that's way too expensive

That's why I said rip off.

JSA Matt · 08-09-2004, 01:50 PM

There are such nicer places than the Westin in Florida, and Hollywood sucks. Internext needs new management

FreeOnes · 08-09-2004, 01:52 PM

I think a westin hamburger at your room for $28 is expensive

amacontent · 08-09-2004, 01:56 PM

No internet access here. Most people have thier laptops and can see when they get back top room what I need to show them. The prices are rediculous tho

ronaldo · 08-09-2004, 01:56 PM

I remember it being expensive. I don't know about $28.00, but still too pricey.

And, it wasn't any good either.

If I was giving out ANY advice, it'd be eat somewhere other than the Westin.

That is Fucking Crazy , I called the reservations , and the idiot told me there was no high speed in the rooms, she said there was a business centre where I could have access from. So I booked elsewhere. I did find it strange that a recent hotel as the Westin would not have it ??

WiredGuy · 08-09-2004, 02:05 PM

You gotta have internet at your booth, if you can't demonstrate to potential clients your clients sites and where your ads will go, you can lose them just as fast as you met them. It's a ripoff, but its AVN's style. That $250/day doesn't even cover a full day, it's only between show hours and they'll cut you off as soon as it turns 5pm. Great huh.

Dude, I'd phone back (I'm a cockknocker that way though) and tell them that they lost a reservation because their staff doesn't know their own accomodations.

Oh, talk to someone other than the 1-800 number. Call direct and ask for the reservations supervisor.

Ask them if they're using Florida inmates to take reservations.

Not only will you get a room, but probably a nice discount too

I believe they would gladly cancel the reservation and sell the room to the highest bidder.

Doctor Dre · 08-09-2004, 02:17 PM

lol ...

I can only totally agree with you .

I bet it's gonna be like a 1mbit connection or something .

You should get 10 stands together and order only one line

Sometimes when you tend to abuse of people, it gets back to you and you end up loosing more money then you would have made

Cancel something they don't have? You obviously missed a couple of posts Matt.

They lost business because of their own incompetence.

This would be a way for them to get business back.

It's surprising how much someone other than the front desk can/will do for you when you're having a problem and WANT to give them business.

WiredGuy · 08-09-2004, 02:33 PM

I wonder if AVN is going to be selling electricity as well. I say $150/day for power and $250/day for internet. Soon we'll see sponsors hauling in generators

i am sure you can give up that money, you easily will make it back from one of your gallery spot sales

let one go get 2 back. you have to spend money to make money.

kmanrox · 08-09-2004, 02:43 PM

i just called the diplomat and YES they DO have hi speed in the room $10 per day.

GTS Mark · 08-09-2004, 02:48 PM

I would much rather spend $750 on a nice lunch/dinner for my best buyers in Miami, then spend $750 on internet access I'm sure that will be dead slow the whole show long.

DH

Trax · 08-09-2004, 03:33 PM

I absolutly agree
Rip-Off at its best

Just because the cow is making money does not mean you should milk it to death

Same with 28 bucks for a hamburger if thats true. lol

I am one of those cheap bastards either
I won't mind spending 600 bucks for a nice bottle cristal but I would never even (even if i was as rich as bill gates) pay 28 bucks for a fucking hamburger.

btw: regarding the high speed at the room. The bitch I called told me exactly the same... media center... no internet at the room. I booked anyways.

What do I need to take with me? I am using a wireless connection for my laptop in the office. Normal LAN cable should do it, right?
