But, the best way is to buy a monthly pass.
Two Transcons will already pay back the cost of the pass.

They're going to end up pricing themselves away.
Its already up to 14.95 for a day pass if you buy in flight, with the possibility of some shorter flights being 9.95. I got a good laugh when they were testing pricing of $10/hr on some flights. Yeah, no thanks. Saw $1.95 (I think) for 15 min the other day too.

Yeah, not quite the same as "uncensored" browsing but it passes the time and I always seem to have shopping items to compare and new stuff to discover.
Silly thing though, if you actually buy something you won't receive confirmation emails using free Gogo.
I really wish Gogo would get their act together with this service and get down from their high horse about pricing. Trouble is, too many data plans for my budget and that's the easiest one to dump.
$3-$4 per long flight I'm probably in, $10-$12 or more, no way! Do the math Gogo, 2 or 3 folks like me and you've got some business. Otherwise, your investment sits there while Amazon, eBay, Delta profit.

If you surf but don't buy, you are actually making it more likely that AMZN, Ebay will pull the plug on paying gogo to allow their sites.

I will certainly be emailing their CS department more often when connections are slow or when the system doesn't work, which happened on a recent AS flight.
