Is hotel internet good enough to play tf2 without lagging horribly? Does it vary based on what hotel you're in?

Bapeno it does not vary every hotel in the world has the same internet connection

Ok on second thought that was a pretty dumb question to ask lol.

I'm just asking because I have to go on a unexpected trip this weekend and I'm trying to figure out whether I should try to play in my ugc match or try to get a backup to play for me.

Thanks everyone for your helpful responses!

i know some hotel internets are really good if you pay a premium

i know a streamer i follow travels a ton for his job, so he streams from the hotels he stays at when he can

the best hotel i've ever been at was probably in LA where i had 50 down and 20 up lol

I've done extensive traveling. In my experience, "decent" hotels usually had crappy connections that were unusable. Staying in something crappy like a Motel 6 always yielded better connections, but obviously the places were typically dumps.

It's kind of hard to give 500 guests access to a 10-100mbps pipe and expect any kind of good results, so your best bet is to pick a place where fewer people are likely to want/use internet connections.
