Hi, i was this month on 8 qr flights (eu-doh-se asia) and as it was business trip i really had to work on something. I must say qr wifi sucks no matter what planes/system it is. I paid for access (a380 usd2p for 200mb, b777 usd10 for entire flight and so) but it didnt work most of the time - from some reason there is no sat coverage over india gosh i was so mad i had things to do and impossible. Stupid norwegian low cost has better wifi.

There is no coverage over India, because the provider used by QR hasn't been approved by the Indian government. Some other airlines are able to provide service over India.
Now over a year ago I found myself able to join a videoconference from a QR 777. It was a bit glitchy, and disconnected completely after a while and couldn't be started up again; but apparently video was not blocked from the start. I am sure they have figured it out by now, however. Apologies to all other passengers on that flight...

77W wi-fi
My ATL-DOH flights shows "on board wi-fi service available" but my DOH-ATL flight shows "No onboard wi-fi service." It's the same aircraft both directions in that market. Why would it show no wi-fi available on DOH-ATL?

I think it's a mistake, all those flights are operated by QR aircraft that have it.
