Do QF really not have WiFi installed on any A332 that has in-seat IFE monitors?
Yes for the pax category mentioned in my post above.They didn’t have “unlimited” wifi last year flying SQ J SYD-SIN-LHR (return). Is that new?

...of possibly 5x the number of pax using it - especially the ones in Y who cant sleep. If 5x the number is using it compared to now, I think we can expect bandwidth to deteriorate.AND a further expansion
As per Executive Traveller though, your KrisFlyer number needs to be associated during booking or at check in. So no free WiFi if you're utilising your Velocity or other Star Alliance status (or crediting points to either) in economy.AND a further expansion

Also imagine the speeds of an 8mbps satellite connection shared between even half of an A380 - 230 passengers. That's a whole 30kbps per person!
And that’s why QF has waited for the better tech. Each pax can expect 15-20mbps.

so presumably your business emails backed up while you were in the air and had to be addressed en bloc when you got back on land?Funnily enough our business in the past put in a policy no ‘on board expenditure’ - blanket rule.
So very sadly back then I wasn’t able to pay for internet and therefore was not contactable whilst I flew![]()
It's a bit hard to be working and at the same time trying to drink the price of the flight or when supine in J with the latest designer JimJams and eye maskso presumably your business emails backed up while you were in the air and had to be addressed en bloc when you got back on land?
Didnt HA announced sometime ago it was going to deploy Starlink in some of its aircraft?.StarLink
The real question is whether Qantas has ultimately picked the wrong solution with the growth of leo/neo constellations like StarLink and oneWeb which will provide much lower pings thanks to physics (being closer to the aircraft)
The extra bandwidth is a nice to have, but the substantially lower latency would make a massive difference...
The low latency of LEO would make video conferencing possible.
I think it's designed for streaming media, where that is not important.
