My flight has an unrestricted Starlink

Currently on a United flight and noticed the WiFi options are:

UnitedWifi STARLINK

Seems they must be using Starlink as their connection with a captive portal router and forgot to secure the Starlink router?

Blazing fast unrestricted 424mbs up; 58mbs down; 27ms. I could likely do FaceTime calls.

Recently in the news was stated United to offer free Starlink wifi:

UPDATE: I’m not as 1334 as I thought… flight attendant said they are rolling out Starlink on all flights and it’s free for now.

Curious why the upload is so great compared with download speed.

This is similar to my Starlink at home with 5-10x download speed vs upload.
