gogo spyware/malware??

I flew AS635 yesterday from PHX-SEA, and paid to use gogo inflight. I wanted to do a speed test, as it is the first time that I was on a wifi plane.

When i went to speedtest.net, the page that loaded for me instead was the itunes page for the speedtest.net app. I'm certain the address was correct, which makes me wonder if there was a spyware/malware issue somehow on the network. Once at home, I tried again, wondering if it was my computer, and the page loaded correctly to speedtest.net

My question is this: Can anyone else who will be using in flight wifi try next time they are up in the air, and let me know if they are seeing the same thing? Anyone else experienced anything similar at other sites? Perhaps gogo is redirecting traffic in an effort to generate more revenue for advertisers?
