GoGo is hoping to change all of that with its next generation of Internet. The new system utilizes a 2Ku satellite system which delivers peak data speeds of 70 Mbps. This should also help accelerate their streaming movies and TV offerings in flight.

So far seven commercial airlines are on board and plan to start upgrading in early 2016 if all goes according to current schedule.

MilesGeek was founded by Jed Stafford, a seasoned traveler with over a decade of experience. The concept of MilesGeek emerged after Jed booked numerous around-the-world itineraries using points and miles. Along the journey, a curious realization dawned upon him: his passion lay not in the intricacies of daily mileage hacks, but rather in the captivating narratives of the people and places encountered during travel.

As MilesGeek evolved, it attracted other writers who contributed compelling content. The name now reflects the number of miles we travel each year more so than reward miles.
