inflight wifi
finally ended up on a flight with gogo wifi. i paid for it more for the novelty than anything.. ($9.95 for flights up to 3 hours, $12.95 for anything longer -- so $9.95 for the flight from atlanta to boston)
i could see 3 other people on it from where i was sitting. the network quality was surprisingly good -- far better than the crappy wifi at the atlanta airport. no hiccups, quick response time.. someone in the row in front of me was watching streaming video sports highlights. i was just thrilled to be able to reload flightaware and see where i was, and keep a few things plodding along at work.
nobody was on skype. :-) they say "no voice calls" in their description of the service, but i don't know if they're actively blocked.
i'd definitely use it again. good day all around on delta, even tho i have no status there. clean planes, on time flights, exit row seats, and one of two flights had wifi. (aim for the MD88's -- they're "days away" from completing wifi installation on the MD88 fleet..)
