Worked well and reasonably fast, EXCEPT that you can't use it if you are using Google DNS. Set up a new location and then let the DHCP draw to you the DNS that it is using.

The connection speed was good and the flight time went by quickly. I will definitely buy the WIFI connection time again the next time I fly Delta.

So things are slowly changing :-) Yay!

I was able to use my ipod touch for the whole journey, fantastic. I too saw a usb port on my economy flight to the UK with Qatar. I was able to use my ipod touch for the whole journey, fantastic.
