Tell us how the speed varies (whether it starts feeling really slow as the flight goes on). EvDo is nice, but depending on your route, it isn't going to be perfect everywhere. Just keep us posted.]]>Nov 22nd 2008 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/

Several to start with. Unfortunately, we have only a limited amount of time to be able to equip each and every flight. This includes Virgin or any of our other partners' aircraft. ]]>Nov 23rd 2008 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/Nov 24th 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/Nov 22nd 2008 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/
On another note this is a lot cheaper than what they charge in some internet cafes in new york!
$1 for 10 minutes. ]]>Nov 23rd 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/Nov 22nd 2008 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/Nov 22nd 2008 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/on-virgin-americas-inaugural-gogo-wifi-flight-this-post-publis/
As I'm sure you are aware, every access point handles VoIP calls differently.

Am I the only one that is confused by this? "Downstream" usually means TO YOU (so, in this case, the plane), and "upstream" usually means FROM YOU (in this case, the 'ground').

1. Could you try to use Skype Video and tell us how good the video/audio quality is?
2. What kind of WiFi networks are they using? 802.11a, b, or g?
3.
