Connexion by Boeing Shutting Down

Connexion, Boeing’s in-flight internet service, is closing down due to lack of customers. The service will be phased out over time, and Boeing will work with customers to find alternate solutions. I had tested Connexion on a flight to Detroit. It was useable, but frustratingly slow. Still, the technology is cool, and having Internet on board of airplanes is something I wouldn’t want to miss. It’s hard to imagine that this technology might go the way of in-flight phones (which nobody ever really uses). Surely, someone will pick up the torch. We’ll see.

Have you used Connexion? What were your impressions? Should Boeing kill off the service or would you use a similar service in the future? Tell us your opinion!
