Internet access type - multiple values #5136
Comments
Keeping the same radio-button-type quest type would create perhaps little too many options though ( As we don't currently have checbox-type quests, similar alternative for UI would be approach like |
How often it happens? Is note creation insufficient
For WiFi/LAN/other internet connection it is not really relevant. |
I guess it depends on class of object. For camp sites, probably relatively rarely (only wifi mostly). For libraries, apartments, resorts, apartments, hostels and hotels - probably very often (at least two, and in some cases all three of them). I'd say in general it probably happens quite often for amenities for which the quest is asked. More problematic might be whether the user willing to expend the effort to find out (e.g. ask on reception if they have separate terminals or ethernet RJ45 connections or only WiFi), or if they'll just see a WiFi on their phone and decide to map just that (which current format of the quest encourages)
That is debatable for WiFi (there are people who at claim that 2.4Ghz WiFi band of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation used for short-range-remote-readable energy-meters for example gives them huge headaches, and other who want not to have WiFi internet access due to being too tempting to their [or their partner/child] internet addiction, etc). But I don't think it is really important if they are really feeling it (and science is not advanced yet to find exact biological mechanism allowing such hypersensitivity) or if they just imagining it or having other reasons -- as is also the case with other quests; e.g. root cause why is someone seeking vegan restaurant (whether taste preference, health food intolerance issue or likely misguided animal-care cause) is not really important; what is instead important is that those people care about such information and seek it out, and are willing to map it. |
I would say if there is an accessible WLAN-Router in the location/hotel room, etc, there is a good chance that a cable can be connected and the network ports are not disabled. If there is already a cable connected, then the chances are even higher that it's for the customer to be used. |
General
Affected tag(s) to be modified/added:
internet_access
Question asked: What kind of connection does XYZ" offer?
Checklist
Checklist for quest suggestions (see guidelines):
The question needs to be answered by customers anyways. This is just an additional option.
I would say that it's useful to know if a place has a LAN if one needs a reliable connection or is sensitive to radiation or don't want to use WLAN due to security concerns
Ideas for implementation
as discussed here #5053 (reply in thread)
semi-colon separated values e.g. internet_access=wlan;wired
metadata per country is not needed. Should be the same in all countries
First a question could be added like
Does XYZ offer internet access? yes/no
If yes, continue with the questions of which type of internet
Multiple choice checkboxes instead of radio buttons would be good.
