In-flight Wi-Fi has a reputation for being painfully slow and overpriced, but JetBlue says its new Wi-Fi service is both fast and free.</p><p>
As of this week, JetBlue’s “Fly-Fi” satellite Internet service is installed on all 150 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. The airline aims to install Fly-Fi on 60 E190 planes—the rest of its fleet—by the end of 2016.</p><p>
JetBlue, which has partnered with Internet provider ViaSat, claims it will offer “up to” 20 Mbps per device. The company specifically says it can handle video streaming, and will let passengers use multiple devices at the same time. In the past, JetBlue has offered free Wi-Fi for basic Internet browsing only, and
charged $9 per hour for faster access.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2993487/streaming-media/jetblue-adds-free-wi-fi-says-it-can-handle-streaming-video.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
