Has the promised Internet speed-up on the QM2 happened? (June '19)

[MarkBearSF]

There were a couple of recent posts mentioning that the Internet connectivity was about to get a big speed bump on a turnaround a week or two ago.

Can anyone confirm that it has happened (or not)?

Yes. 

 

 

Further, the available computer classes now include one on the onboard use of Skype for low-cost voice and video calls.

There was another positive report in this thread

Anyone know if this improvement has been implemented on the other ships as well?

Not on the Queen Victoria.  Slow as molasses this past spring.  We were often found standing in the hallway just trying to log in or log out, hoping that the router in the hallway would help.  No dice.

 

But, I am encourage with the positive reports for the QM2 as we board in September.  I remain cautiously optimistic, but fully ready to have my dreams dashed.

It seemed quicker than in the past on QV a couple of weeks ago, but we now go online first thing in the morning and late-ish in the evening, when fewer fellow passengers are using the bandwidth.
