Your next UberX could have free Wi-Fi thanks to new deal

If you're planning on hailing an UberX in Sydney or Melbourne in Australia this week, your ride could get a little boost thanks to free Wi-Fi and a super-fast mobile charger.

In partnership with Australian telecommunications company Optus, Uber will soon trial 4G Wi-Fi in 100 UberX vehicles in the two cities, it was announced Wednesday. 

According to an online statement, Optus' Wi-Fi will allow up to 10 devices to be connected in the vehicle at one time, meaning you and all your friends should have plenty of selfie bandwidth.
