That would make the GoGo internet perfectly serviceable for gaming, streaming video, or (as another person mentioned) video conferencing. That assumes of course that the connection is relatively stable (low packet loss), but I'm impressed! Thanks for the ping information, JWonser. 130ms is quite outstanding for this kind of service.

I have consistently been doing simultaneous internet VC, instant messaging, email and web surfing with minimal latency. Very pleased with this service! keep up the good work! :) Love the new pricing options based on length of flight and 24hour option!

I put it up on Youtube if you wanna look.. Just search for Delta and Polycom. You should see it. Worked fine for me. It's been a great addition in my opinion... (but doesn't help me sleep on the plane....) I was on a flight from Atlanta to KC and managed to do a 4 way video conference from the plane. I put it up on Youtube if you wanna look..

It appears the server is in Dallas, and my latency on a Dallas server was in the mid 130's. http://www.speedtest.net/result/541480830.png RSwonger,

One question and one comment. 1) Is wi-fi only for local flights, or is it or will it be available for international flights too? 2) I think it's time to change the error message on delta.com, specially if you are reaching the site from a Delta plane on the wi-fi. Please forward this blog post to anybody that is in charge of this; http://sellmic.com/blog/2009/08/13/terror-messages-cute-error-messages-that-scare-you-based-on-context/ Thanks!

That's something I'll do on my next trip and report back, if I remember. I was able to get on my XM Radio account and listen to music on my last trip from ATL to DCA. It was fine. Is there a "limiter" of some kind on these wifi equipped aircraft? I'm sure we couldn't get a few dozen of us doing this type of thing. I didn’t think about checking the ping.

The question is whether the latency of the connection will support this use. Gaming of the type I do tends to be low bandwidth but require relatively low latency (no more than, say, 250ms). The other use not mentioned above is to follow baseball games online. This isn't quite streaming video, but rather things like the mlb.com gameday application. I would like to try gaming via gogo.
