   The hotel I'm staying at has normal, "basic" WiFi, but then "high speed" premium, paid WiFi. I'm only using the basic WiFi because it's free and I don't want need to pay for some higher speed connection. But, the hotel also block some websites which I'm using a VPN to circumvent...and my connection on VPN seems faster than without VPN. I'm wondering if this hotel is just artificially slowing down their WiFi connection for people using the "free" internet package vs. genuinely having a faster, premium connection. I.e., we're all on the same connection, but unless you pay the hotel money, they intentionally slow your connection down.

     @adiz @J There is such ways they slow down speed with a https spec (happens a lot in airplanes to)

     @adiz If that were true the VPN still wouldn't be any faster unless they're throttling specific sites.
