Data Valet, the next devaluation?
 
I get the following now while logging in on datavalet


Thank You for Using Datavalet

First time it happened in YHZ I thought it was a fluke; repeated today at YWG.

The next devaluation or just another IT fail?

Data Valet, the next devaluation?
 
I think I saw this at YYC last fall. Non-status gets a basic speed, and status gets a faster speed.

What about non status pax that pay $45?

You'd think this is something they could give to Ps too.

I like this part:

Bronze* for Star Alliance Gold cardholders traveling in Economy Class and guests from other partner airlines.
Regular bandwidth speeds for web browsing and e-mails.

*Bronze Level Bandwidth can be upgraded to Silver for $3.99CAD for a 24-hour period.

Was in YYZ yesterday, Gold level Wifi was noticeably faster then last time before this change

Most in Canada, but it has 2 hour window, very erratic, and worthless when airport is very busy

One of the changes coming with A3 status instead of AC....

WIll try in YEG MLL tonight....if I make it in time to visit the lounge...need a few drinks pre-vancouver weekend getaway :)

chaptwo May 25, 2012 5:51 pm

it sucks anyway
 
I end up connecting to the free Boingo wifi at YYZ because Datavalet is so lame to begin with.

No! No!! it's Datavalet in YEG-- I was worried the grass will grow faster than Datavalet downloads yesterday. Finally an enhancement before the end of the year.
