Wifi availability dramatically changed my ability to travel as I had a growing family (not interested in losing my Sunday, or red-eyeing back on Friday nights). It has never been super reliable (other than on the 220s), but it was enough for emails etc. The lack of wifi on the max is such an inconvenience, so I have to work hard to avoid it.
