However, unless Viking segregates the “paid streamers” from the general population, they will bring the system to a crawl.
I am waiting to see how this “experiment” works on the current Saturn sailing.
I hope they put the paid service on separate Starlink channels otherwise they will totally wipe out the included service bandwidth.
Also, if the paid WiFi is faster, then more “work from home” guests will travel and put in a few hours a day.
I can report the same on the Venus as we crossed from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale. There was just a day or so when we fell back to the old satellite (Spain ISP) when we were too far out of range for Elon to see us.
