I got 30 minutes free and this site is the only thing that loads.

I would hate to pay 20 bucks or whatever for the day and it be this shitty.

it's usually like 2/hour or 7 bucks for the flight depending on airline. It has always been slow for me

US Airways had pretty quick wifi when I used it a couple months ago.

The North Atlantic is always the worst and usually when I try to time my sleeping.

I'm a big fan of your plane. However, when Qatar Airways gets their Airbus A380s I am going to have to try it out once or twice.

I've only purchased in-flight Wi-Fi once and it was fine for me, but that is a small sample size.

Flew them once a long time ago out of necessity. I recommend it if one has the means. Company doesn't like their rates so much QA has some pretty nice ones as well. Do you know why they don't have GSM/wifi on the 777s on Qatar Airways?

They use satellite technology (obviously) and it has always been slow. My aunt and uncle had it because they lived out in the country and it was barely better than dial up and was expensive.....

no I don't,, never flown them, and to Boondock, the satellite bandwidth and speed is prioritized to the needs of the cockpit crew, we have to be able to look at porn and post on td to keep focused(seriously, though that is the priority)
