“This Wi-Fi is crazy fast” - shows 5mbit upload, just enough for a single passenger to stream their webcam video. I hope they have good traffic shaping as all the juicy download is going to mean nothing as the upload will be maxed with minimal usage from all the passengers uploading their in flight photos, streaming, uploading/syncing files from business users on laptops etc etc etc
You shouldn’t do video calls on plane flights. That speed is for communication, texts , emails , downloading books but not live or instantaneous streaming
@@danielmankinde1706 Them doing video calls is the entire point of the technology and what it enables. It will be fine. I suspect the 5mbps upload is some form of bandwidth management or QOS, and most traffic is download and not upload anyway.

@@dishan85 they use OneWeb. OneWeb was previously tied to Google who had planned offer a residential service like starlink but pulled out because they didn't think such a system would ever be profitable. Their satellites are higher up than starlink and have higher ping, but starlinks only last 5 years before deorbiting so OneWeb should be cheaper to run long term. OneWeb were also supposed to build the starlink satellites at one point. Now the big issue for them is that Russia won't launch their satellites anymore and are dependent on SpaceX.
The thought of taking a flight and watching Netflix, fantastic ... however...having a person next to me on a Teams meeting or Zoom call depresses me. How annoying would that be!
Starlink satellites are an environmental problem. Those satellites only last 5 years and when they go down and burn in the atmosphere they damaged the atmosphere itself. But yes it’s the most important things to be able to watch Netflix or anything else during a flight
@@thomasmorel1447 bro what? You need to do a little more research into why that five-year number was chosen. Keeping the space environment clean and free of uncontrolled debris is mandatory.
From $10K to $110K, that's the minimum range of profit return every week. I think it's not a bad one for me, now l have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Another major +1 for high speed rail. When I travelled China’s HSR network this summer, I had a solid 5G cell connection 99% of the time, even out into the rural countryside. Rail has never had to deal with having to ping satellites for connections. It’s a shame the US doesn’t have a single true HSR corridor anywhere. Japan is even building its first maglev line at this very moment, while we still await our first 120mph train. It’s about time we built one and caught up to the rest of the world.
that was the only silent space we still had... imagine your odd uncle facetiming you on loud speaker just because he's bored... and you're 5 rows ahead... seriously... stop doing this. I like my flights quiet.

Here is a question for Joanna Stern. If you don’t mention the CEO’s of all those companies you brought up in this interesting video, why mention starlink from Elon Musks SpaceX? You mentioned Intelsat by name. Do they have an owner or ceo? You mentioned Delta does Delta have a CEO? You showed and mentioned Panasonic and Viasat as two aviation WiFi tech providers. Do either of those companies have owners or CEO’s? You mentioned JSX airline does JSX have an owner or CEO? You mentioned Hawaiian Air does Hawaiian air have a ceo? You mentioned united does united have a CEO?
Because none of the other ones are being as wild in public as he is. He's basically a celebrity right now, vs the other bean counters that remain unknown to the general public.
4:35 I seem to remember hearing somewhere that Starlink also enables the WiFi on Brightline's Florida trains. However, with passengers having access to their cellular connections, fast WiFi isn't as important
This already happens. Many aircraft are live streaming flight data down to their engineers. Most then send engineers to meet aircraft when they land to sort issues out that pilots sometimes are unaware of
I flew jetblue from San Francisco to Paris in feb this year and my wifi was free and consistently fast on all legs of the flight. I tested it a few times and was usually getting around 25 mbps. Jetblue had a pretty good internet experience in my opinion.
WiFi on plans would be terrible. One of the few enjoyable things about long flights is escaping from the stress of work and life. Sit down and enjoy being disconnected. This’ll eliminate the one last refugee from stress on the planet.
Yeah, they will allow high-speed demanding services like Netflix, etc to First-class and business-class people as a priority. And basic connectivity to the economy class. This means I can still sit peacefully knowing a random guy beside me will not bother me with loud video and audio calls.
I remember one of my more recent flights on united actually had really good wifi although they blocked basically anything but email and msg. But i had a vpn on my phone so i just connected my steam deck through my phone and i was able to play some multiplayer games on the wifi and watch 1080p video. One of the best flights i had in a long time because of it. It was really funny just joining my friend in game and them being surprised that i could do it on a plane.
i worked on cargo boats and sometimes we have no signal for internet and its the BEST FEELING.. looking up at night seeing the MILKY WAY GALAXY is so much better, you feel connected with the world in that form ..love the internet but nothing beats human to human connections and with the world itself
As someone working in LEO satellite communication project, I am seeing development in LEO to car and smartphone scenarios. Hopefully they can eventually be rolled out for commercial usage.
I used to love traveling for work; it meant hours of true uninterrupted peace and disconnection from work, or anything. Now, though, if you're unlucky enough to be in a work environment where you're expected to be online no matter what... this seems like a nightmare.
Wow! Where has the WSJ been? Is this an advertisement for Intelsat? I have Starlink on my rural farm and it is great. It works great for about twenty screenagers. Starlink is nearly everywhere and in use on ships, offshore oils wells etc. Not sure why all planes do not have it yet.
Things I learned today: WSJ wastes vast money and resources so that they could do a piece on in-flight WiFi with no other passengers aboard the aircraft. Why wasn't this possible to do with a full flight that is not wasting energy?
We installed 5kw solar offgrid somewhere in kitui in huge house kplc services 23 km away running freezer washing machine 20 downlighters and and 65inch lg smart tv and topped it up with starling kit it was wow
Good god no, as much as I would want fast wifi just to watch anything live or download a movie I forgot to download, there will be so many self entitled passengers who want to have loud phone calls throughout the whole 12 hour flight, day and night. Blocking Facetime and VoIP in general should sort that, please do.
Look at the speeds in the lavatory! We all wish people would get out of the laboratory quicker. Anything that would decrease people’s time inside the lavatory, and decrease the wait time for those of us waiting to get into the lavatory is greatly appreciated! Oh, that’s not what you meant by wait time in the laboratory?
Bummed you didn’t actually show the comparison between the US airlines. Delta is the greatest. No competition. Sure it’s not Starlink or the new Intelsat…but it’s high speed, almost full fleet availability and it being free is game changing. No problem streaming with a full flight.
wow this is amazing. Starlink is the best, I mean, the company launches their own sats lol that'll make the price real good, and loooooots of sats!! lesgooo
At the end she says the best way to get the fastest service would be to take everyone's laptops away. And because it's a network, you absolutely can do this, virtually. Networking skills required 😈
I think it will be at least another decade before we have cheap, fast WiFi for all passengers on a typically packed flight. The other question is if websites and apps will be even more data hungry by then. Maintaining and upgrading electronics on airlines is very expensive. Everything has to be FAA certified and airlines already run on tight profit margins. So tech installed today stays there for a long time.
So this is where the US is; not being able to stream Netflix on a flight is the biggest disappointment :) This is the most important problem; to keep the subjects distracted from real issues :)
12 year old cellular connections are one thing, but what about 2024 cellular connections vs satellite‽ When there is a ground connection available, wouldn’t it be faster and cheaper, as the plane becomes the _satellite_ from a certain point of view?
Intelsat has already lost 120ms ping? AND this is their BEST case scenario. Compared to Starlinks 30ms AND a network FAR more capable Starlink(SpaceX) IS the clear winner, they build their own rockets, own their manufacturing plant + musks ability to produce anything at a fraction of the cost.
It was a supposed Chinese competitor, but the rocket exploded creating a giant debris field last week, or the week before. 🤦 Being a Chinese rocket, you know where it was made. 🤷♂️
Companies goals have always been focused on profits and not providing great services. It just so happens that customers wellbeing happens to align with those goals sometimes. I see this as an another premium service offered as at outrageous price to people in economy and perk of getting a premium class seats.
i saw similar speeds on a an american flight a few years ago. not sure if was because no one else was using it or if the connection just was really good that day
We don’t have onboard wifi for the most part in domestic Australian flights. I was more than impressed with United’s free text only wifi when I flew to SFO last year. Just being able to text my friends from a plane blew my mind 😂
Should airline company consider rule to fairly fine that customer that keep making noise that affects other passengers. So that the passenger comply with attitude or else get in blacklist. I believe passengers would hope to have their peaceful experience on plane more than interrupt by lousy people yapping unintentionally rudely.
