I was thinking of a different kind of team, such as a sports team rather
than a work/job crew/team.

I see now.

I saw a website once which described which hotels/motel chains had
'good' policies about internet connectivity and which did not.

I have a friend who travels and who wants connectivity and who doesn't
like to pay for it. He stays in expensive hotels and inexpensive ones
and finds that expensive hotels tend to have the most outrageous
policies and that inexpensive ones tend to have the best policies; but
everything in between.

I think that whoever is booking the accommodations ought to use the
m/hotels with good policies, not bad policies. There are lots with free
connectivity.

Apology accepted.

Unfortunately no. Teams consist of various techs.

I agree. Sometimes we don't have control over where we stay. We had to
go to Morocco - the place we stayed had a Mosque built into the side.
Every morning their chanting woke my up.
However, that was one of our mot productive project. I got more work
done from 5am to 8am on that trip than I do at the home office 10am to
noon.
I wish I could go into detail as to what we do, but I signed a slip of
paper that says I won't.
