Just returned from LAX this morning, sitting in BNE Bus lounge, the download speed (as tested by speedtest.net) is 1.23Mbps and the upload speed is 11.46Mbps.
The F lounge at Tom bradley had a staggering download speed of 69.13Mbps and upload of 36.05 Mbps,

What are others experiences here and elsewhere?
 
AA Domestic lounges are pretty good and better than any QF lounge in Australia I've been in. JAL in Haneda is fast (never test unless it's terrible.)
 
Up better than down would mean that it's intentional throttling.
 
At the end of the day, in my humble experience, Australia averages about 5 years behind most of the rest of the world in internet. I understand in rural areas, but in cities??

I can sit on the top of a mountain in Colombia and have better net than my wife on the Sunshine Coast. Go figure.
 
The SYD Amex lounge, not airline one but lounge nonetheless, had amazing speeds when i last visited.
 
My daughter's house - across the road from a shopping centre and accompanying cell tower had 80+ Mbps on her LTE when she first moved in - a year later and it's now down to 40+ Mbps... Her ADSL is ~6Mbps.

On Sunday, the the Qantas Domestic Business lounge in PER I was getting an Ookla rated 3.5Mbps, I switched to the 8 Mbps my 'phone was offering.
 
FWIW, I just did a test in the MEL F lounge. 44 down/48 up. Fastest I've seen it, but there aren't 50 people in here right now trying to all stream Netflix.
 
Was in QC LAX....88.68 mb up and 81 down on Speedtest ... Best i have ever seen.
 
Some airports and hotels have awful speeds almost to the point of unusable.
 
Best I've seen is Helsinki. Was able to watch part of a movie there without any stutters. Never really pushed speeds in lounges though, to be honest.
