I checked the log in on my last flight, and login via roaming partners is still there But no indication if that is going to continue or not.

Yeah!!!
First time, to see Panasonic Avionics (not T-Mobile) as the provider. Up over the Kurils now and performance is outstanding. I'll update later after seeing if the performance holds across the Pacific, but for now a huge improvement.... and still free in F.

JL61 - LAX-NRT - T-mobile. Worked most of the time (more than 90% of the flight). No real complaints from me. In my experience, on par with Cathay's panasonic wifi - not sure if others have compared.

It was also T mobile on JL46 yesterday. Worked pretty well through dinner and when I woke up for breakfast. In between I don't know as I was sleeping.
