The coworking spot I booked for a client meeting had no working wifi

Showed up to a WeWork in Denver last Tuesday for a sit-down with a new client. Their network was down since the morning, nobody warned me. I ended up taking the meeting in my car using my phone hotspot. Has anyone else had a coworking space totally drop the ball on basic stuff like internet?

Used to think coworking spaces were basically foolproof for this stuff, but that WeWork experience totally changed my mind on that. Did they at least comp you for the day after that mess?

Total nightmare, sorry that happened to you. I've had similar crap happen at a Regus near me where the internet literally just cut out in the middle of a Zoom call and I had to reschedule everything. It's such a basic thing for a coworking space to have working wifi, like that's literally the whole point of paying for a desk there. Feels like they should at least send out a text or email if the network goes down so you can plan ahead.

Specifically the internet cutting out during a Zoom call" - classic. I've been there too, except my dumb ass didn't realize the wifi was down and just kept talking to a frozen screen for a solid minute.
