Not really-they've got it set up in such a way that there are 2 pop-up ads for that ****** credit card that come up during the login process for the streaming.

Workaround for credit card and PA interruptions
Moved to a different solution for IFE to minimize OA and credit card noise:
Download Netflix choices to a small iPad
Additional advantage: IFE now works with Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones.

i just checked this on my last three flights and streaming did not start until well after takeoff. In each case about 40 min after boarding. This is on the cell service GoGo equipped planes.

Internet vs. WiFi access have little to do with each other. The current system streams content over the aircraft's internal WiFi and does not depend on external servers to feed that content. Thus, does not matter whether one is over the midwest or the mid-Pacific.
I am also not sure I understand the complaint about losing service on the ground. I have not found that to be the case. While Internet access shuts down, streaming does not (unless there is a glitch on the particular aircraft).
