T-Mobile At JFK

I’m currently writing this at JFK International Airport, courtesy of a 10-dollar T-Mobile One-Day Express Pass. The Wi-Fi is spotty, and I spent the first hour quite frustrated as the internet at Gate 21 , Terminal 2, dropped from 11 Mbps to 5.5 to 2, and then finally disappeared altogether.

However, a quick move over to Gate 22, closer to the Starbucks, which appears to be the HotSpot center, has kicked me back up to 11 Mbps, and I’m able to download some episodes of 24. My advice, unless you are going to be stuck at JFK for a while (four hours in my case), or your gate is right next to the Starbucks, don’t bother with the JFK Wi-Fi.
