Free wi-fi in the terminal is a reasonably new development...and it's TERRIBLE. If I can hold a connection on any device (laptop, iPhone, iPad) for more than 2 minutes, I consider myself lucky. Last Sunday morning, I ended up having to tether to my iPhone for a reliable signal (in SF - consider that for a moment).
