Not to extend the dialgoue, but it would be interesting to see what the MPS speed difference is between the two levels.
If it is minor, then I doubt there is much point in upgrading. That of course unless everyone in the lounge is trying to stream video...

Congratulations. You now have Silver access.
(Yes, you can type the names I typed in, or replace it with something else creative.)
I also have Lisa Raitt's AC# for whenever I lose AC E status. (Thanks, CBC!)
(Original article now censored the AC# however.)

I don't know of any other airlines that engage in such shenanigans, not even cheapskate UA.

Amateur.
I remember enjoying stable, fast connectivity on a tourist bus in Uruguay in 2010 ... Never thought we'd be at this bush-league level years later
