Orange deferred sticker on the streaming wifi

FA said it wasn't working and showed me the sticker. He said the plane just came out of the shop this month.

I could connect, but nothing would play with my iPad2, iphone5, or my 2MM iPod touch. All have ios7. The purser insisted it must be me, because others could connect. I guess that's why the deferred sticker was there, huh? With 3 hours remaining there was no wifi signal at all and the screen shown above was dark with no power light showing.

Perhaps other passengers were watching something they already had on their iDevice?

I have been able to watch movies on the streaming wifi on other flights with my iPad.

Twice now FAs have said there is a limit to the number of people who could be connected. I'm beginning to wonder if there is any truth to that.
