Qantas starts international wifi

Looks like that was on 333 VH-QPJ.

QPA and QPB remain in SIN maintenance.
And now QPL (one of the ex-AY) in BNE.
 
Apparently Viasat's F3 APAC satellite is now operational – has noticed a speed boost flying over the pacific?


Flying QF3 VH-ZNI right now, about 2600km from Pappete.

Lat Long -4.40589, -129.19188 to be exact.

Speed test: 49Mbps/1.4 Mbps back to Auckland, 674ms idle ping

Download was similar if not higher while over the Tasman/NE of Auckland, but uploads were 30MBps

Not sure if this is a speed boost, but I'm very happy with the speeds and being able to work online while trying to adjust to the new TZ.
