Airborne Connectivity Speed Test Fails

Click the arrow at the bottom left of the video to begin the screen capture.

This is a speed test of Wi-Fi during flight, which shows a time when lots of users are all sharing the slow DSL link at the same time. The download speed is 555 Kbps or 1/2 Mbps.

But watch, the upload speed can't be measured. It fails because the signal has stopped. It must be one of the times between cell coverage areas when the signal drops and takes several minutes to reconnect.
