Aboard WN 251 from HOU to LAX right now. The 700 is equipped with WiFi (saw the hump), but there is no plackard and no announcement was made.

Service is slow and unsteady. Fit for very simple websites only.

I could not run a speedtest because none of the tests would load fully.

I am probably the only passenger using the bandwidth.

Also, the flight traker graphic on the homepage is stuck on El Paso...the overhead banner is accurate about the remaining time....but the map updates every 30 seconds but changes none of the readings. Manual reload does not help.

Overall, this is just a parlor trick.
