The Oasis has the new high speed, high bandwidth internet that allows Royal to offer it at cheaper prices.

 

There was an interview with the IT director a while ago and he explained that they keep the prices high on the ships that do not have the higher speed or bandwidth so that not as many people would buy it. If they lowered the prices on those ships then the internet speed would e a lot slower than it currently is.

It will be coming to all ships one by one. Here's an article that talks about the new O3B which stands for Other 3 Billion people that don't have access to high speed internet.
