That ping speed is typical for land based internet, but will be over 100 for satellite.

Even for real Voom I would expect ping in the 300+ ms range while a non Voom connection to be 800+ ms .

Any download speed above 1 MBs is likely to be a real Voom connection.

220KBs is not too bad - might be enough for WiFi calls.

Something weird going on there - you sure that wasn't 1189 for the ping? The downlaod speed suggests old Interent but that ping is very good.

They have a problem on their hands if VOOM isn't offered on every ship soon.

According to a certain blog, Michael Bayley reported this during the earnings call:

I hope its true! Those removing roaches off the Empress of the Seas can have wifi while they work!!

I thought the same thing.

While there's no mention of speed, the tasks listed under stream are just not possible (some might even be blocked) with the existing WiFi on ships without real Voom.
