WiFi at 40,000 Feet
It's only $8, but the only place I've been able to actually send [expletive] to is GRB. Can't get into company network (which is why I bought it), my personal emails just keep spinning and never let me in. Weird because I can get to most sites and apparently can post here. So WTF Southwest?? Now I have to check into work when I get home and I could've spent the $8 on beer.
Then just to tease me, gmail lets me in and I try to send a note to see if it works. It doesn't ("there was a server error and your email was not sent"). Hell for all I know nobody is seeing this post either.
Don't think I'll be doing this one again.

If it's important to you, it's important to them.

I wonder if they would notice portable hotspot or if one would even work in flight (too high to connect to towers?).
I got a 4G hotspot from FreedomPop the other day to try out with my tablet since my carrier won't let me pay them $10/month to use my phon as a hotspot anymore. I've been using it for a couple of days now to stream movies and such and it has been working really well. I may even pay them after the free month trial is up ($10 for 1gb, $18 for 2gb and other options).
