Any plane internet I’ve used has been spotty and terribly slow, but then again, I haven’t bought it in years because of previous experiences.

The speed is probably because you have to share 2mbps of bandwidth with 100+ people

I’ve been on some United flights that let you stream 4k video with no issue. It’s pretty uncommon, but it’s amazing when it’s there.

  Was this 4k video from an arbitrary source, like a random YouTube video? Or from United’s website?
  
  I haven’t flown outside is Southwest in a while, but they have a bunch of licensed video content that is hosted locally on the plane. And therefore cheap.

    It’s content from places like Netflix or Hulu, or anywhere else on the general internet.
