I hear you, but I wonder if you don't have it backwards. 2020 is the year and airlines WiFi is like 1995 dialup? Something is wrong and I think it may be in the sky.

I don't think that's fair to say until you've personally had to maintain a wifi network that supports 300 simultaneous connections where the only uplink is an unstable satellite or cellular connection.

  They allow YouTube now, so that's not necessarily the traffic pattern anymore. But my point was that unless you actually have experience running these systems I don't think it's fair to criticize them.
