When staying in hotels or holiday parcs, the error messages you get usuaully are terrible.
Not so with KPN Hotspots (which I can access as part of my xs4all ADSL subscription).
Recently I had the pleasure to be at one of the Center Parcs, and most of the Dutch ones have KPN WiFi hotspots.
When you cannot get on-line, at least you get a decent error message that shows you the steps to work around.
I had two outages that week; this is how I solved them:
- Rather than restarting my primary browser, I started a different one (I have Chrome, FireFox, Opera and Internet Explorer) and logged on to KPN HotSpots successfully.
After that, my primary browser would work. - The second one Disconnected the WiFi adapter for 10 minutes, reconnected, then logged on successfully to KPN HotSpots.
One tiny thing: when you have multiple WiFi devices with you (laptop + iPad for instance), only one can login to KPN Hotspots at a time.
