If that's not available on a flight here or there, that happens. If it works out that B6 is selling this as part of their product on planes they know don't have working in-seat IFE for many flights and have no intention of either fixing it or offering compensation, that's false advertising.
Yeah, all of that is also available on Fly-Fi (minus the seatback screen, of course, but once you use your own device that's pretty much covered). If you think JetBlue didn't do their research before dropping the IFE comp you [are wrong]. All airlines are in the business of making money, not losing it (and ironically, none of them are terribly good at it! ).

As an aside, music is not available on the AVANT interface (only LTV-based systems on some A320s and all classic A321s have SiriusXM).
