Daylight robbery in Berlin
I’m sitting in a hotel in Berlin, the Hotel Ibis Berlin Mitte. They’ve done a deal with Vodafone to provide wifi access for their guests.
Here’s the price list:
- 30 minutes – 5.95 euros, or $8.66
- 2 hours – 12.95 euros, or $18.85
- 24 hours – 29.95 euros, or $43.59
There’s no option to connect/disconnect and use your time bit by bit. You have to take it all at once, making the 24 hour option particularly attractive.
Way to go Vodafone! You idiots. With bargain basement rates like these I will certainly keep coming back. Same goes for you Ibis Hotel. Typical phone company strategy – maximally fuck your customers in the short term.
