Some airlines use caches for their user sat connection because bandwidth is so limited. I know because their squid server sent me an error trace once and I got a lot of insight into the configuration. I wonder if it still performs well now that nearly all connections use TLS.
It does not, but connections have gotten faster so it hasn’t really been that much of an issue. (I don’t work on airlines, but I worked in a place with a very limited satellite connection we had to actively manage.)
Really it’s only video streaming that is a bandwidth hog, so they can block the major sites by DNS and throttle everything to make it not worth it if you find a site not blocked.
