DOTA on in flight WiFi???
I'm about to fly to Florida and it's a 7 hour flight from WA. I looked up as many times as I could but has anyone tested the bandwidth on an airplanes wifi?? I know my friends all say "just try limited heroes and see" but I don't wanna pay the $16 if it can't even upload a web page. I've heard Dota takes very little data transfer due to game being installed and just issuing data commands.

The provider is gogo and they don't say anything on their site, but this is what Wikipedia says:
"Gogo provides continuous coverage with minimal interruptions in speed, detected when passing from one cell tower signal to the next. Gogo's connection speed is approximately 500–600 Kibibits per second for downloads and 300 Kibit/s for uploads[14] Total bandwidth for the flight is approximately 3 Mbit/s."

Later goes on saying similar to hotspots at coffee shops. Anyone had experience with it??
Thanks!

Like I care lmao, better than watching a movie. I was on a redeye where no one was even awake... But I didn't, guy next to me said his wife was a flight attendant and if it wasn't for him getting it free he wouldn't buy it. Said it was crap, don't recommend trying. FO4 was just fine though
