Monthly Airplane Wi-Fi Reliability Report Card: June 2019
June is the sixth month I’ve tracked my wi-fi reliability. The numbers are going up just a bit, but only because I’m continuing to book some flights on Delta.
Monthly Airplane Wi-Fi Reliability Report Card: May 2019
May marks the fifth month in a row where I’ve kept track of the Wi-Fi reliability on all of my flights. With over 50 flights in the books, we have enough of a sample size to start making some reasonable conclusions.
Monthly Airplane Wi-Fi Reliability Report Card: April 2019
