In-flight Wi-Fi speedtest shows 122Mbps down, "best flight internet" yet
JoeJustice · x · 2026-11-08
JoeJustice tested an airline's in-flight Wi-Fi at the gate: 122Mbps down, 7.92Mbps up, 58ms ping on Speedtest, with no popups, login, or cookie consent. He calls it the best flight internet he's used by a long margin, though he notes smooth video calls need 15Mbps up/down and hopes upload improves airborne.
