Sieghard, My understanding is that bandwidth is not enough, possibly even deliberately so, so as to not permit VOIP calling.
I heard they deliberately do this because they do not want a cabin full of folk on the phone, shouting away! My experience has been that band width is enough to e-mail etc, surf the net, albeit slowly, and that's about it. no chance whatsoever of streaming a movie or even low quality music, and no chance of VOIP.
