Flew IAD-DXB and back, and WiFi was decent except on one of the flights after powering down the laptop and reconnecting later, system would not recognize the account, and I had to purchase the access again. Applied for a refund on the duplicate purchase and received it promptly.
On the SFO-IAD legs, however, WiFi was piss poor. Moreover, second time I got into a connect lock where the browser access was denied, but email was working. The only way I could overcome that was by running Tor. That allowed me to get around whatever block the system put me in.

Outstanding: another opportunity to make an anti-CO comment in a thread that has nothing to do with it. Or, are you suggesting that the CO IT team has anything to do with the design of the Panasonic in-flight WiFi system, or its installation and operation?

Did anyone catch Walt Mossberg's comments about in-flight WiFi in his interview with United's Thomas O'Toole and Gogo's COO Ash ElDifrawi at Code/Mobile?
