It's not just you: The Wi-Fi at Web Summit is still terrible

As Web Summit enters its second day, the Wi-Fi continues to be pretty terrible.

The Irish tech conference had notoriously poor connections in 2014, and the problem clearly hasn't been solved this year. Numerous people I have spoken with have told me about excruciatingly slow connections or an inability to connect to the complimentary Wi-Fi altogether.

It's a particularly debilitating problem considering that large numbers of Web Summit attendees come from abroad, meaning they don't have Irish data plans to fall back on to access the internet.

A Web Summit volunteer told me the problem was supposed to have been fixed on Tuesday night - but problems clearly still remain.

Last year, Web Summit CEO Paddy Cosgrave attacked RDS - the venue for Web Summit - about the Wi-Fi problems. This year the upkeep of the network is apparently in Web Summit's hands alone.

According to the Sunday Business Post, RDS issued a statement before the event saying the conference organisers had "taken exclusive responsibility for the build, operation, and performance of the Wi-Fi network at their event."
