RE: Internet @ 37,000 feet!
Interestingly enough the female co-pilot came out of the cockpit for a restroom break and asked me if the connection was working ok!
Works great but did not quite seem quick enough to use FaceTime, but still the page loading speeds were good and YouTube worked only slightly slower than on broadband at home.
Must admit I do like the US aircrews, we were a little late on departure so the captain said he had taken on more fuel and would turn it into speed...and boy did he..we made up the time and arrived early! Must be ex US military.

A buddy of mine has it on 2 Lear 60's he flies. Had 6 people in the back downloading youtube all at once for a test. It only works above 10000 ft. and it runs $2000 per month per plane. Great for weather updates.
