And here I thought it would be an article about the psychological experiment being done on passengers to see how many times they would toggle Wi-Fi on and off and try to reload the captive web portal pages only to find that the internet still wasn’t working despite being promised internet on the flight.

Do you happen to know what system was being used in these cases? United seems to use at least four different services [1] (Gogo ATG for US flights on smaller planes, Panasonic for international routes, Thales for the US, and ViaSat for US and transatlantic routes).
