Qantas will have WiFi in long haul shortly. It’s being rolled out domestically and it works very well. It uses the NBN satellites and is about the fastest airborne WiFi you’ll see anywhere. No problems streaming HD Netflix.
My experiences with WiFi offered by other carriers has been so slow it’s really not even with considering. Ok for checking emails and web browsing but totally useless for streaming.
This is why Qantas haven’t yet jumped into WiFi internationally yet. The current offering is just not good enough. Domestically the geostationary NBN satellites provide the desired speed but there isn’t an internationally equivalent option as yet.
