Elon Musk’s Starlink held an in-flight WiFi demo on a private jet after Delta passed on a deal with SpaceX
SpaceX hosted a demo of its Starlink satellite internet service on a JSX jet last week. People who attended the event said they were able to stream movies and host video chats seamlessly. The demo comes after four major airlines reportedly passed on a deal with SpaceX. SpaceX hosted a demo flight to showcase the capabilities of Starlink satellite internet service on a private jet last week as the internet service vies for more customers. During a one-hour flight from Burbank to San Jose, California, SpaceX demonstrated the capabilities of Starlink to deliver WiFi for Netflix, YouTube, as well as video chats from 30,000 feet in the air, Bloomberg reported. Reporters who attended the media event said the in-flight WiFi hit speeds over 100 Mbs — more than enough connectivity to seamlessly stream videos, surf the internet or even host live video chats. Though, its unclear whether the internet speed would have been slower had it been used on a larger flight with more than 20 to 30 passengers.
