Release June 6, If you find the right codes, it is free on Delta and American through the end of the year. I have used it on both airlines and it is quite fast actually. The only time I could see paying for it is in the case of severe delays and I want to try and rebook onward connecting flights.

Or maybe for a coast-to-coast flight. But even then, you would probably run out of battery power before the flight ends :. Ok, I meant cheap compared to what they charge on the cruise lines to use the internet! But of course this is not WIFI. I've used the Gogo Internet Service on Delta and it was fast, not dial-up speeds. Don't know if it is slower on Airtran for whatever reason, but it was good, useful, and a great boredom-breaker.

I used my mobile device smartphone so would've paid the lower fee for that if it hadn't been free from a code I got via e-mail - sign up on the Gogo site before your flight and they might send you a code, too. I would've bought it for the second half of my other flight, but that time their site wasn't recognizing my browser as being a mobile browser, so was only giving me the laptop price a few bucks more which I refused to pay out of principle.

But, yes, I will buy it again if next time it gives me the mobile device price, which it should since I sent an e-mail to let them know about it and this wasn't for business use, either. I e-mailed back and forth with a friend of mine who was on the ground she happened to be on her computer checking e-mail at the same time and went on Facebook and uploaded pix I took from the plane's window to Facebook and went to some other sites.

Posted November 30, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Whether it is worth it is up to you. That's also a plane convenience issue in addition to a network hogging issue — imagine if people around you were just chatting away during the whole flight.

That could get annoying. And finally, some sites are blocked, presumably both for content reasons and bandwidth issues:. However, I was able to fire up a working BitTorrent session, TPB loaded up and I was even able to start a Usenet download, so Gogo is still likely in the midst of changing things.

Of course, I was just testing things out and didn't sustain any obnoxious downloads for any length of time. I think that inflight internet services will only be something for the business person or diehard techie than the casual surfer. A little network prodding I used nmap proved this theory on my flight. Halfway through the flight, I was the only person on the network. Speaking of network security , the Gogoinflight wireless network is open and unencrypted, offering no link layer security.

An experienced user and a free network protocol analyzer like Wireshark is really all that stands between other Gogo users and their security and privacy.

Verdict Right Now: 5.
