Tell HN: I'm posting this while in flight over Atlantic Ocean

Lufthansa Group provides 100kb per second free WiFi for texting. It looks like some sites like HN and lite.cnn.com are still accessible with this speed.

It's a German airline promoting German culture. Hence the slow internet.

My real moment of shock and awe was flying over the pacific earlier this year on Hawaiian and measuring ~350mbps down.

It looks like all of the major big 3 American Airlines offer this as well as BA, Virgin and AirFrance.

It reminds me early 2000s dial up internet, you have to wait for every single request.

    I haven’t tried, but I’m guessing it would be much slower than HN.
