I wonder how long it will be before on of the Bells retaliates saying the speed is so slow, it is not nun friendly? | |

Was in an airport last weekend and shocked at how much they wanted me to pay for their internet. I don't mind paying but good grief, just way too much
I stuck with my iPhone instead | |

 mobbo join:2005-04-13 Denton, TX | Suprisingly good I got the chance to try out gogo on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Salt Lake City last friday and I loved it. Speedtest showed about 1.5Mbps down and 400Kbps up, which is better than I expected. I was able to chat via Facebook and watch YouTube videos the whole time. Made the flight time fly by I was a little disappointed that access wasn't included in first-class though, but $10 was well worth it IMO. | |

 |  morboComplete Your Transaction join:2002-01-22 00000 | Re: Suprisingly good I agree. I tried it on a super 80 flight from the midwest to the pacific northwest. It worked surprisingly well and made the flight go by quickly. The return plane (newer and larger) didn't have the service so that was annoying. | |

 |  |  mobbo join:2005-04-13 Denton, TX | Re: Suprisingly good Ditto, the return flight was on an S80 and it didn't have it unfortunately. | |

 |  MrMoodyFree range slavePremium join:2002-09-03 Smithfield, NC | I'm guessing the $10 price is what's keeping it fast. During the free period, it will probably be like free motel wifi, painfully slow. -- CO2 is not a pollutant. It feeds the starving. | |

 |  |  |  |  |  | | Re: News? What am I missing here. I thought GoGo used EVDO based ground stations. Virgin is a UK based carrier with some service to major US cities. What happens when the plane hits the Atlantic? What happens when it crosses it? Does GoGo now have similar deals with European GSM providers? | |
|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  | | Re: News? Virgin America is a new airline (albeit 25% owned by the UK business entity) that flies between US cities - mostly transcon (LA-DC, LA-NY, SF-DC, SF-NY, etc) | |

 Tairei join:2009-07-01 Beaverton, OR | It was neat. Flew to Virginia from Portland, OR and back. Got free access through a trial program and it was great. Checked email, updated blog, even did some work and uploaded it.
Watched some movies too. Flight time of 8 hours? Didn't even notice it. | |

You'd rather get gouged by the major airlines? Edit: It does say purchase on that page, but I thought kept hearing the word complementary on the flights I was on. --Bit Torrent is my DVR. | |
