Which U.S. Airports Offer The Fastest Free Wi-Fi?
A new report details which U.S. airports offer the fastest free Wi-Fi and the good news is that the technology has continued to improve over the last few years even though fewer people have been flying. With pandemic-related travel restrictions finally easing, some visits to the airport are now more likely, and knowing which airports offer the best bandwidth can help to stay connected when venturing further from home and the office.

A company called Ookla specializes in testing internet bandwidth and they are the maker of the popular SpeedTest app which allows collecting vast amounts of data to facilitate broad analysis of local and global internet connectivity.
