You'll pay extra for Jet Blue, to avoid paying $10 for WiFi??

  On a recent American Airlines flight, a 30 minute pass cost me $10. On a not so recent AA flight, an all day pass cost me $35. Depending on the cost differential in a JB ticket, it might be worth it. Sidenote - the prices on their pricing page [0] are significantly different than what I paid which makes me think the airlines are getting a significant enough cut to keep the status quo.

  The $10 for wifi nets you something akin to 28.8K modem speeds. So yes, I'd gladly pay more for a ticket that provided something approaching usable speeds. When google.com takes 45 seconds to load, the connection is basically useless.

    Paid for inflight wifi on United earlier this year (FRA to SFO) streamed one way video all hands just fine. Gogo wifi on Alaska between SJC and SEA, service is quite variable.

    Its worse! The high latency makes it hard to use ssh.

    Yes. this. I also have no interest in supporting the business if their principals are as described in this article - basically saying "whatever, we know we can still make money, let's charge as much as we can." Plus, like I said in my original comment, JetBlue seriously lets you snack for free waay better than any other airline I've flown (all major ones).
