I'm on my first LGW wifi service, on the RR powered 777-200, G-YMMF, so greetings from 36,000 feet above the Kyle of Lochalsh. The streaming package speed is running at 6.9 to 9.2 Mbps download area, 0.5 upload, latency 480 ms. Which is faster than I get at home, though without that latency. From what I can make out, the LGW provision is identical to LHR.

Yes ba.com is free, and the BA App works too without payment. The App is a bit slow mind.
