Dori Saltzman Posted July 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hi there, If there's anyone out there currently on a ship that could run a speed test for me of the Internet, I'd very much appreciate it. I'm trying to find out how fast the Norwegian Internet can go. Thanks!! Dori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted July 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I was on Getaway in March and got about 3mb download speed and I did not have the streaming package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love my butler Posted July 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The internet generally has two speeds, slow and slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted July 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Speed is a relative term. You are using satellite internet. All the bits go 23000 miles up and 23000 miles down with the associated latency. You are sharing a single pipe with everyone else on the ship and operations. Demands varies from minute to minute. Ships use cache servers to give surfers better apparent speed by smart pre-fetching of pages. Some people think it’s great because every time they click, they hit a page already on the ship.
