In the early days I was able to make Skype calls (just listening, didn't talk!) but they might throttle it more aggressively now. I haven't had any problems with individuals doing calls over the flight though!

Streaming services are hit or miss. Audio is usually no problem, but YouTube/Netflix may involve some heavy buffering. Amazon Video gets priority so if you subscribe to that it'll be exactly like on the ground.

Generally speaking it's the best WiFi program in the sky, and you can't beat the price.
Thanks very much!
