Sounds like you're using Connexion by Boeing. They're doing some pretty sweet stuff. They're putting internet on boats too.

I shant lie, I work for Boeing (but not for the Connexion part). But I'm still a big fan of internet on airplanes. I don't like being disconnected from the internet while on lunch... much less a 12 hour flight.

And, if its up to me, internet on airplanes will be awesome.

I once wrote a blog entry on a plane over Godthab ... with pen and ink ... and then transcribed and posted it, backdated, when I got home. Does that count?

Wow !!, that's even faster than my DSL connection over my home !!

I really would like that this blogs were longer, as the monthly wired column of yours...

300kbps doesn't seem that shabby, and as someone who starts to lose their mind after a 5 hours flight, I'd happily shell out the 30 bucks for a 12 hour one... :)

300kbs is pretty good. I used the Connexion service on a Lufthansa flight a few weeks ago, and usually only got around 30kbs. But I downloaded quite a lot, so perhaps they have some kind of intelligent IP traffic control installed.
