It was good for social media browsing, Spotify, the odd YouTube clip. Posting a single image from my phone to social media took about 30 seconds. The short video clip I tried to send never even posted.

So, yes, it's a start - but have your movies ready before you board.
Upload is going to be (at least) an order of magnitude slower than download. I always take my own IFE with me that will work offline.
