UPDATED 1.24pm: In response to the reader query below, McDonalds acknowledged that its free wi-fi connections would be censored, with some websites blocked or "filtered".
"McDonald’s is a family friendly environment and we would expect people to respect this by not viewing material that may be offensive to others," a spokesperson told NBR.
"Through its specialised internet service vendor [TelstraClear], McDonald’s has a sophisticated content filtering technology which may block certain websites.
"McDonald’s also has a fair use policy, whereby some restrictions on web content and/or download limits may be applicable to your internet session."
McDonald’s claims it is now the largest free internet provider in New Zealand.
Today the company announced that it is offering free wi-fi in nearly all its restaurants nationwide.
TelstraClear is the service provider.
There is no time-limit, but here is a data limit of 50MB per customer.
McDonald’s free wi-fi is currently available in 132 restaurants nationwide from today, with 145 restaurants expected to be offering the service by the end of the year.
Unfortunately for travellers sick of nose-bleed wi-fi fees charged by airports, there are nine foodcourt restaurants and four airport McDonald's which are not able to offer the service due to lease arrangements.
