Free wifi sounds great in theory, but is there enough capacity to ensure everyone gets a great experience? I tried in-flight wifi with DL a few years ago and recently with UA and my conclusion is that it's very slow. It resembles more of a 56k service than my definition of broadband. Hopefully, DL and UA will adopt Starlink in the near future. I'm not convinced ViaSat is the long-term solution.
