One odd thing relates to airplane mode -- usually this needs to be "on" in order to connect to on-board wifi, but the messages app is telling that's a problem. I've tried it both ways and no improvement. Not sure what others' experiences have been, but on this flight at last it does not seem like a great advertisement for Bell!
It seems like some overly aggressive bandwidth throttling on the messaging plan then. I know of people experiencing similar on other carriers. Hopefully gets it fixed soon.
