High-performance wireless data
Starbucks is working to be a leader in Wi-Fi hotspot performance. After offering mediocre but vaguely sufficient AT&T Wi-Fi to customers for years, Starbucks is bringing in Google to offer super high-speed access -- probably faster Wi-Fi than the vast majority of its customers have access to anywhere.
Google claims that its offering is 10 times faster than the old AT&T Wi-Fi -- and 100 times faster in Google Fiber cities. Google Wi-Fi is expected to be installed in every U.S. Starbucks store by the end of the year.
