Why can't EK follow suit and give their F passengers free Wifi also? I have always been amazed that we are asked to pay $1.00 when sitting in the suites. It is more of a pain than anything and it seems a little ridiculous to be drinking Dom and eating caviar then having to get out a credit card for the silly one dollar charge. I understand upcharging and I completely understand bandwidth being limited by forcing a charge after 10MB, however can't the few people in F just be able to log in for free?

As an aside, I have never managed to burn through the 500MB. Are you able to pay for a second round of 500MB for another $1 if you run out (while not taking advantage of the system by deleting cookies, etc.)?
