UA1620 IAD - LAX on a sCO 753.
Took about 90 min for wifi to begin working. Then, once it did, couldn't switch devices. Kept asking for capcha code, which wasn't being generated (why do they even ask for this?).

While I maintained battery to use the service we had 8 download and .22 upload. Was the Panasonic kit.

United is too cheap to install power on this bird so couldn't use internet to do work. Requested refund, will see.

Where are the red flags that United, 3+ years behind the rest of the industry is still having failures a year+ into deployment?
