I sincerely doubt this. How many people could possibly be sitting outside? At DFW the other day, the club was FULL and nobody was outside. It was very slow. I was there several hours. When the club emptied out there was still nobody outside and the network was still very slow, albeit a little bit faster. I use ssh terminal sessions quite a bit and the lag time between characters being entered and when they showed up on my screen was immense. Thanks to dan1431, I switched to the T-Mobile hotspot the airport offered and had blazing speed to do the rest of my work.
