I said repeatedly to AF that their WiFi offers were totally unadapted as it is driven by data volume instead of connection time. The data volume offers are just ridiculous and overpriced. 200 Mo which is their max offer IIRC, represent just a few minutes of internet browsing on most sites (due to ads, videos, etc). The only good offers are the ones like US airlines or LH by time limit (1hr, flight duration, 24hrs).
AFKL are clearly behind on this, and I’m afraid they may conclude, based on their current offers, that there is no need for WiFi for the pax (because nobody buys it), while it’s the offer that is unadapted.
