The Simmons Porn Spammer Theory

Bill Simmons, a few weeks ago, pointed out something I noticed when I was in Vegas:

I noticed a strange phenomenon -- my connection would be fast during the day, but at night, it became so spotty that I could barely load box scores or watch even short highlight clips...
That's when I came up with "The Porn Jammer" theory: It's my belief that certain hotels scramble their wireless at night to discourage guests from surfing for porn. Why? So they will order adult entertainment from the hotel's pay-per-view system. I know ... it's dastardly. But if you're the hotel, why give the milk away for free when you can make people pay for the cow? More importantly, would you really put it past them? This is the same business that built motion detectors into mini-bars; they're going to give up the in-room porn business without a fight? It's evil, it's desperate, it's despicable and brilliant.
When I was in Vegas I had to write at night, I noticed this- the WiFi was totally fine in the morning, but slowed-to-a-crawl at night. Couldn't that be a class action suit, if it ever came out that this was true?

Wouldn't it be more likely that slow speeds are the result of more people using the hotel's internet in the evening?
