"A lady had to comment on our no hastle Zenbu WiFi service. Apart from our complimentary 5mb voucher she found the access and use of Zenbu just magic. She had stayed at a Hotel in Wellington where she had to credit card sign up for WiFi she had login difficulties which the Hotel could not help with so she spent 35 minutes on the providers help line with no resolve. So a $20 charge and no service she was a bit apprehensive about our Zenbu service untill she used it. On checkout she was telling everyone about her experience." - Bentons Motel, Levin
