- ledbettj 4y agothe old wifi (Gogo Inflight) is slow and terrible. The new wifi being rolled out (ViaSat) is better, the speedtest screenshots I've seen have been 50-150 Mbps down.

- alphabettsy 4y agoIs this changing with the free WiFi rollout? I was on a flight very recently with updated Viasat Wifi and was able to stream YouTube.
- sakopov 4y agoIs the quality bad because the airlines just don't care when the Wi-Fi signal gets hugged to death or because it's hard to offer a stable connection at those altitudes? I fly with Spirit a couple of times a month and tried their $6 Wi-Fi service which straight up never worked both times.
- vineyardmike 4y agoAs others mentioned, Delta is flying a mixed fleet where some planes have better WiFi than others. Additionally, there are delta-branded non-delta-managed flights and I’ve found those have bad WiFi too. So it definitely “could be you” except that doesn’t really matter since if all you have available on your routes is trash, free trash is still trash.
