AA WiFi Making Up For It’s Many Shortcomings

  • David here, live….reporting from my NY – LA American Airlines flight.
  • Seems like just yesterday when I wrote about the the launch of their inflight Gogo WiFi service. Fast forward four months and I’m video chatting with Glu while he works on our new site design.  Nice.
  • Overall, I’m quite impressed with the service.  Video-chatting was near flawless, only getting slightly laggy when Glu took a hand-roll break outside.
  • Speakeasy’s speed check returned the following download/upload speeds:  1932kbps/266 on an LA server and 1288/307 on a NY server.  Not too bad at all.
  • Make the internet free when you check a bag ($15 for one, $25 for an additional) and AA, you’ll have one very happy customer.
  • ….and below my friends, might just be the first “I’m on a boat/I’m on a plane” wireless interaction….tinyComb wins.i'm-on-a-boat
