In-Flight Wifi Speed Test
As the in-flight wifi is available from various airline carriers across the globe, the key of the in-flight wifi is the internet speed. Without a reasonable internet speed, it won’t be usable at all even for the web browsing. Every airlines promote that their wifi is good for reading emails, browsing the website, sending text messages. However, in reality, some of the actions could be achievable at all due to low internet speed.
