At my hotel in Manchester, the only wireless available is bought separately from the room.
It's not quite what I'm used to, but it does Ok. I can't hold an ssh session open reliably from here to the states, but that has nothing to do with their company. There's enough latency on trans-Atlantic internet routes that there's probably not a lot to be done about it.
However, ebay totally fails to load here. I tried turning off loading images, same result. I tried a couple of different browsers, no dice. What I finally ended up doing is logging into a server I have in the US and then using elinks, a text-mode browser. This is what ebay will look like for me until I get back to the states:
I'm not sure how viewing photos works in elinks, so I don't know that I'd want to do any shopping that way, but it's quite adequate for checking on auctions that are under way. Sometimes, those old arrow-key and tabbing skills come in handy. :-)
