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)

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.
