There are three different wifi systems on UA
- the older GoGo on PS flights
- the Panasonic sat system with allows worldwide coverage
- the DirecTV based system limited to CONUS

The latter two are relative new and have had startup issues. Recent reports suggest things are starting to improve but still fare from 100% (donot actual parentage but closer to 50% would be my guess). Addition as the streaming entertainment comes on line there appears to be capacity issue -- but those are labeled as beta.

The sCO 772 is likely a Panasonic system.
