I hear that in many US airports, Wi-Fi is provided free for travelers. Not so on the other side of the pond. In my experience, most airports have Wi-Fi, but you have to pay. And sadly, T-Mobile is overcharging for it's new Wi-Fi setup at Heathrow's new Terminal 5. Normally, this wouldn't be grounds for a post, but the new network has something special: It is huge.
The hotspot covers the area of 50 football pitches. That's football played with the feet, not football played with the hands (some of you may know it as "soccer"). The price? £5 (almost $9) per hour. You could opt for the £10 option, which gives you a 24 hours of access but, honestly, who wants to hang around an airport for a whole day, even one with such pretty decorations to look at?
