I agree with the sentiment that dynamic throttling is not simple to implement. Even a midnight to 6:00am increase would be great. That shouldn't be extremely difficult to implement. 4Mbps as the download speed would be fine, but didn't happen at all on my Oasis cruise earlier in 2022. My Oasis (Surf+Stream) average was throttled to approximately 2.7 Mbps down, 0.92 up, no matter the time or day.

"You are on a vacation" sounds cute...until you remember that some are unable to be away for so long without the promised connectivity. When that expected connectivity doesn't materialize, it is a major problem.

Thank you for the replies. As long as we can get 4-5Mpbs, we should be OK. It's so frustrating that RCCL throttles so much, while charging such high prices. I'm not convinced that RCCL will adjust the throttling very much when Starlink is installed. If their throttling were about maintaining an acceptable level of service for all subscribers, they wouldn't keep the same low limits during low-priority times (1am to 6am, for example). I won't be surprised to see a third tier introduced that has a 20Mbps offering for substantially more $$$.

Looking at a 2023 cruise on Navigator of the Seas out of Los Angeles in 2023. What can we expect for internet speeds for surf+stream?
