Surprisingly good. tag:vox.com,2007-12-21:asset-6a00e398ae981e000100e398ca366b0001 2007-12-21T05:32:05Z 2007-12-21T05:32:05Z Ant UK http://freshplastic.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom I could've chosen a more catchy title like, you know, 'Free McDonald's WiFi. I'm lovin' it!' but I didn't. Why not? Well it was a bit fiddly to get going at first and you have to fill in some details. Other than that though, it works well. The...
