Airport Net showdown - QP versus Internode versus Telstra 4G

This report is not representative of other airports I visit, and I dont frequent Adelaide enough to say its a fair report there: Airport Broadband Showdown: Free Vs Paid | Lifehacker Australia

It's probably a fair enough comparison, however he was there at an optimal time (for internet access reasons at least) and free internet is certainly a rare event for an airport outside the lounges. I've found a couple which do have free internet, but it's rare.

If he really wanted a proper comparison he would more than likely need to visit the airport throughout a month at peak times (eg between 6am and 9am and again between 4pm and 7 pm Monday to Friday) and then doing a comparison of all the data collected.

Whilst I expect Telstra 4G would remain the fastest option, a question on which is the most reliable option could come into play. If I have a choice of speed or reliability I'd chose reliability every time.

I was thinking along the lines of the QP net speed!
