Virgin America’s new Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi service

The lucky beggars over on CNET got the chance to test out the all new Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi service and we wish to tell you about it. The article they wrote was published from around 25,000 feet up in the air over the Northern California coast.

They were on the one-hour Virgin flight demonstration and here is what they said, they passed 10,000 feet and found the sky-high Wi-Fi signal which then they had to create an account which took minutes, CNET say that the service is a lot faster than they thought it would be and were impressed somewhat, obviously not has fast as using wi-fi connection at home but nonetheless still pretty quick considering you are thousands of feet above ground level.

For streaming videos, publishing articles etc the service seemed to be very good indeed, the service is on-board Virgin America’s Airbus A320 aircraft and will be pushed out to its entire fleet by the second quarter of 2009. The Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi service will cost you $9.95 for flights of three hours or less and $12.95 for flights more than three hours which is very good indeed if work is important to you. This service is available via Aircell which indeed powers the in-flight Wi-Fi technology. For more information and pictures please visit CNET.
