Something odd we discovered while researching last week's burger mega-feature: Hungry Jack's stores in the Melbourne CBD (and the obscure suburb of Bunker Hill) also offer free Wi-Fi. It's nowhere near as comprehensive an offering as the competing nationwide network from McDonald's, but it's something to bear in mind when hunting down free Wi-Fi.[Hungry Jack's]
Hungry Jack's Also Has Free Wi-Fi (But Only In Victoria)

Brace Yourselves - TV Streaming Is About To Get Ridiculously Expensive
There are currently four main streaming services in Australia: Netflix, Stan, Foxtel Now and Amazon Prime Video. There's also Apple TV+ and - in a few short days - Disney Plus.
But that's not all. In addition to all of the above, there are smaller, more niche services like Hayu, 10 All Access and YouTube Premium - all of which contain original programming you can't watch anywhere else.
Disney Plus: The Killer Feature No One Is Talking About
When Disney Plus launches in Australia tomorrow, it will be one of the cheapest streaming entertainment services in the country. It will also be the only place to (legally) watch the first live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.
But these aren't the reasons we're excited. Disney Plus has another ace up its sleeve - and it could be the deciding factor that gets you to subscribe.

The city store's wifi doesn't work with android phones, only iphones, which i can assume is the same in other stores
LOL Iprimus
What happened Internode? How did you drop the ball on this?
Question is:
Is it as useless as MacDonalds free wi-fi..??
Mcdonalds ones worked for me last time on my galaxy tab.
Up to 512Kb/s and maximum upload speeds of 128Kb/s with 14 users max, sounds pretty dodgy
Hi guys...I have picked up your post.
The Hungry Jack's FREE WiFi services in Swanston Street, Bunker Hill, RMIT and Bourke Street were a trial and remain in trial status - they are not impemented with the full Primus Managed WiFi service feature set - very basic. There are pending announcements in the coming weeks. Interesting to hear that a users Android O/S is not working on the trial sites - is this still the case? 20 users with speed up to 1Mbps -speed dependent on km from the exchange.
It's in all their stors now, not just Victoria. I think Victoria was a test market.
hungry jacks mentone/parkdale does NOT do wi-fi. They claim it's a franchisee.....so it's up to the manager? very disappointed. should have done better research.
