Airplanes have a very narrow band for the Internet, and that limited connection has to be shared between the passengers. Airplane WiFi isn't expensive just because. The more people are on it and the more people exploit it, the shittier it becomes for everyone. It gets drastically worse when flying over water, because ATG (air to ground) transmission isn't possible, and they have to rely on satellite connection exclusively. The only real solution for in-plane WiFi would be to allocate more frequency space for the purpose. Until that happens, we're doomed to the current situation.
