It is actually not crazy busy. Took me 30 seconds to get a drink -they have run out of Sweetwater by the way. Anyway, to answer your question, my flight DL2828 departs from B1 and after a long long day because of my TATL I wanted to wait in an SC reasonably close to my gate.

The SEA UC has a 20m/20m symmetrical connection. I chalk it up to SEA being a pretty wired city with a high demand for tech (MSFT, AMZN, etc.).
Few others are quite that fast, though, but they improved significantly when they got rid of T-Mobile as their wifi contract provider.
I'm in rural California now stuck on a 768k upload, and there's no free, fast wifi anywhere in the area--even the library has only a paltry 6m/1m connection. I've got a pending 2.5GB upload I've been needing to post, ugh, but I can't monopolize the upload here for 12 hours. Ironically, one of the best free wifi connections I've found was in even-more-rural Lee Vining, CA, at the public library there, which had a 100mbps symmetrical connection. I had a phone full of Eastern Sierra pictures to back up to the cloud and when I pulled up to the library, my phone was done uploading them almost before I got in the front door.
