WEB SUMMIT HAS been plagued by Wi-Fi problems today.

And not only has it irked many of the attendees, it has also irked the conference co-founder Paddy Cosgrave who criticised the RDS in a speech this morning for not allowing them to bring in a third party internet provider.

With all the disgruntled attendees tweeting about the lack of Wi-Fi, Guinness Ireland decided to get in on the act and tweeted this sly burn.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Snakey, Guinness. Very snakey.
