Gogo Inflight Internet Speed Tested and Used

Wi-Fi access on airplanes is quickly becoming the norm and at least 150 American Airlines planes now now offer the service. The wireless service that us being used on AA flights is called Gogo Inflight Internet and it turns a commercial airplane into a Wi-Fi hotspot! Read on to see how fast it is and if it works well.

We were able to recently try out the Gogo Inflight Internet service on an American Airlines flight from St. Louis (STL) to Los Angeles (LAX). The plane was a Boeing MD-80 (S80) airplane that was equipped with wireless service. We fired up our OCZ Neutrino netbook that was running Microsoft Windows 7 and easily found the Gogo Inflight Wireless network connection and connected to it...

i don't see how it could have been choppy at that speed, at 180k down and 30k up, i can watch HD videos with almost no waiting, and you were getting a meg down

Maybe at the spot in the flight it was slower than the hourly tests or something... Not sure, but it was indeed choppy even with the video being cached.

is it sad that most of the speeds you were showing is the speed of my 30 dollar a month 1.5mb cable connection? Got to love living in a small town. Could it be you were sharing it with others? I might have missed that part of the review.

Aircell has problems between towers and its service is unpredictable. The signal is frequently lost because the tower is not in just the right location. As more people on the aircraft log on to the service; it slowes significantly. Aircell is also being sued for patent infringment. In a rush to install systems it did not use to the best technology and is alredy obsolete. I would elect to bring a movie with me and foget this service existed.

you. have. no. idea. unless your town is more than 2 hours from ANY city, and has less than 500 people living in it, then you may, but since you can get 1.5 down, you must be near something at the very least. here 768kbps down costs $99 with limited cable and phone
