United Airlines Starlink review: "Throughout the 90-minute flight, I regularly clocked download speeds of over 100 Mbps, with speeds peaking at 222 Mbps. I was able to download the YouTube app (308.4 MB) in seconds, watch YouTube videos, stream shows, listen to Spotify and even FaceTime some friends and family, who said my picture quality was extremely clear. (Keep in mind you aren’t allowed to make calls on regular commercial flights; this was a media flight.) Someone was even playing World of Warcraft in the air. When compared to my flight earlier this week, which had abysmally slow speeds of 0.53 Mbps download and 0.01 Mbps upload, calling Starlink a significant improvement feels like an understatement."
