Overall, when its available, I find the BA wifi to be more than decent. I also fly with Emirates and Qatar, and their wifi is appalling (and expensive).

Oh, and BA has the worst IFE of any airline I fly with. If I have wifi I can do without it, but it is frustrating on a long BA flight with no wifi to be stuck with the appalling BA IFE!
