With 15MB oneccan browse AFF for 30-40 minutes quite easily.
There is to be no 15 MB limit.

If there was a limit that's enough for me.There is to be no 15 MB limit.

It seems extremely unlikely there would be enough bandwidth for Netflix, even Spotify might be pushing it. Think email / bookface.

And I am sure many people will use it for phone calls. Wait and see.
Technically phone calls will not be possible. VOIP maybe but not phone calls.
Some technical detail about the WiFi solution

What can we expect ~800 ms response time with this service? it is going to kill the experience
Bit hard to attach Fibre to an aircraft.
Geosync orbit is about 38000km, which is about 125ms each way.
Fine for Internet and streaming (with buffer). VOIP will be a little stop start but not too bad
Let's hope so. With cabin noise I would imagine intending users would need decent headphones/mics to communicate but those that don't will likely be yelling into their phones.
I don't know about you but I can sort of handle a conversation between 2 or more people next to me even if it's loud.no different to the current practice of pax yelling (chatting) to those sitting next to/around them...especially the pax that have their headphones on whilst carrying on a conversation with fellow pax!!!:shock:

But a one sided conversation on a phone does my head in. Even worse if that conversation is on speaker.
I guess we are all different.it's all the same type of noise to me...just comes from different 'sources'..just my opinion of course..and throw in a mix of kids 'noises' which would 'outnoise' everything else on an aircraft...it's all part of the glamour of PUBLIC transport. i'm not complaining...i'm just pointing out the reality

Are you using two way sat or just downlink via sat?Could you possible come and configure my sat services best we have got is 600ms?
In a way I think you are right. It's about filtering and ignoring. Plus it looks silly if someone looks like they are talking to themselves in public.That's a really interesting observation.
I wonder if it's easier to filter out a conversation where you can hear both sides because your brain doesn't have to do any work to fill in the blanks? That is, when you can only hear some idiot on the phone/one side of the conversation, like it or not your brain is pattern matching/attempting to guess what's happening on the other end?

300msec used to be the 'gold standard' for sat. 600 is high though for a single up/down.
