How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something.

if the listing advertised “high-speed internet” or anything with the wording “high-speed”, then i’d call AirBNB and complain until i either got a partial refund or a rebooking elsewhere. Rate 1-star and post as many complaints as possible on as many social media outlets as possible with the full name of the AirBnB host. Name and Shame.

Basically, be as big a nightmare as possible (without getting kicked out) until either it gets fixed or until you get enough money back to make you feel better.

edit:

The owners live upstairs.

i wouldn’t let them sleep a wink until that’s 50Mb/s+ both up and down. should be at least 100Mb/s, but 50Mb/s is manageable.

They’re fucking you while on vacation, and i would make their live a LIVING HELL. being cheap has consequences…

Who hurt you?

if i pay for a service, such as an AirBnB, it had better be in suitable condition before i come to stay. if it’s unacceptable, someone needs to be taught a lesson: Don’t try to take advantage of people, or you will regret it.

it’s the only way these assholes ever learn anything: fuck with their money.
