My flight has an unrestricted Starlink

Currently on a United flight and noticed the WiFi options are: UnitedWifi STARLINK Seems they must be using Starlink as their connection with a captive portal router and forgot to secure the Starlink router? Blazing fast unrestricted 424mbs up; 58mbs down; 27ms. I could likely do FaceTime calls.

Curious why the upload is so great compared with download speed.

  This is similar to my Starlink at home with 5-10x download speed vs upload.

UPDATE: I’m not as 1334 as I thought… flight attendant said they are rolling out Starlink on all flights and it’s free for now.
