1) Am not sure if they offer it (and can't find the info anywhere)
2) Am not sure if there are multiple lounges and which one is better

Was wondering if any of you expert flyertalkers might help based on your experience. Wi-Fi is actually the most important part (I have Boingo Global if that matters)!
Wifi is available in the Sydney NZ Lounge, there are little strips of paper with the password to use at the front desk, they seem to change it every now and again.

Speed can be abit shocking depending on how many people are downloading.

The main Access Point (for those Technical) is located directly after you walk in, near the common access computer, it is out in open, near the sign in book, you can see the flashing lights, if it's going mad or hard on, it's going to be slow.

Even on the 839 early visit, it's very slow even after the shower.

Once back in my own country, I drop back to 3G data so much quicker.

Shared Lounge, so many flights, it really depends on who wants the next Despite Housewives on their next flight.
