Using it yesterday (4/21) by gate C8.
At 12:30pm it was working very well (concourse almost empty). Didn't do a speed test, but I was downloading/installing lots of updates on a friend's laptop.
By 3:30pm, with the concourse starting to fill for international departures, downloads had slowed dramatically. But straightforward email was still easily handled.

Tested from my tragically basic iPod [yes, iPod] on 18 May from the BA Galleries Lounge at the B-Gates. I think I was offered 6+ connections.
It worked fine, given that everything using an iPod is glacially slow

worked fine in B terminal yesterday
was outside gate 11 and though the connection was a bit slow, it worked. I had to connect to the "attwifi" one.

For some reason, connecting to "attwifi" sometimes works better than connecting to "Dulles Airport Wifi" - even though they are both working off the same hardware throughout the airport.
