What kind of dumbmass businessman signs such a contract? No matter the price, the contract should have included "responsibility to meet customer expected speeds and availability of the wifi service provided". And then cut the contract because they arent in fact providing a usable wifi.

I think its just a bullshit excuse to keep paying very little while not giving a crap about their customers - since they got the 4 or 5 star rating anyway.

This website is great - I will use it.

Yes, but any such clause is wrapped in arbitration requirements which cost time if nothing else.

I'm surprised that many business people sign bad contracts, but it happens a lot especially with long term contracts like these.
