Public Wi-Fi Tests / Discussion

Leeds train station is the fastest free WiFi I’ve seen so far
York station was the fastest as they had UFO (Sky/TalkTalk/FibreNation) posters throughout and a sales kiosk near the entrance trying to sell it to local residents by having them try the free WiFi. That was gigabit up and down across the whole station.

I haven't been to York for some time now and not sure if it's still a thing now that it's been absorbed by CityFibre, or if they abandoned it and it's now just basic free WiFi from the station operators (LNER?)

For a busy NHS Hospital - Virgin is doing pretty well!
 
Leeds train station is the fastest free WiFi I’ve seen so far. I don’t have a Speedtest screenshot as last time i used it was on the Nothing Phone, but I’ll try and get a test in next time im up at Leeds.
I recall it being 150 download 75 upload, 4 ping with the isp being “Lumen”
Found it.

Fastest train station WiFi I've seen, but not the fastest public Wi-Fi I've used.

Glasgow Central Haymarket and Edinburgh Waverly have the same ISP have seen speeds of over 200 download 100 upload
 
I've seen Lumen before it's the isp used in Network Rail managed stations a few are mentioned Edinburgh Waverley, Reading, Glasgow Central and Leeds, Edinburgh Haymarket using Lumen is strange one that station is managed by ScotRail who free WiFi normally uses a different isp can't remember it .
