How Fast is McDonalds Wi-Fi?

How Fast is McDonalds Wi-Fi?

McDonalds got to where it is (36,000 local restaurants serving 69 million people in more than 100 countries) by meeting its customer definition of value and by ensuring that there is not a long wait between the time you order and the time you bite into a Quarter Pounder (the “‘fast” in fast food). But can the same be said for its WiFi service?

The value proposition is a no-brainer from a cost perpective since Mickey D’s offers free WiFi at its restaurants around the world including more than 11,500 participating hot spot restaurants in the U.S.



As for speed, recently Rotten WiFi, a public WiFi and 3G/4G watchdog, examined the quality of McDonald’s internet service. Rotten WiFi offers a free app that lets you measure and rate the connection of any WiFi hotspot based on an online speed test, and then aggregates this data.  According to Rotten WiFi, its users have measured WiFi speed at McDonald’s in 36 countries. Results differ significantly depending on where the measurements were taken. McDonald’s provides the fastest WiFi in Austria with the avg. download speed of 5.05 Mbps while its slowest speed is recorded in Ireland – average download reaches only 0.07 Mbps.
