fstuff1 Posted November 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) I'm on the regular package and not the upgraded premium that allows video. Ie: YouTube and Netflix Speed test says starlink?? I'm currently in the Atlantic somewhere in-between ny and the Carribean. Pretty good speed, especially for non-premium internet 😮 Edited November 8, 2022 by fstuff1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted November 8, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2022 It appears they are testing it on the breakaway, i found this on a different site: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted November 8, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Read about it yesterday - they just installed them on a trial basis to test while at sea. Speed has been throttled to avoid congestions among shared users - capable of much faster u/l and d/l ... obviously. https://www.teslarati.com/11-starlink-dishes-norwegian-cruise/ That's about twice as far as the previous speed that I benchmarked myself on the BA, about 5 years ago and nearly 3 times faster/better than the GA, Escape with the Joy coming in the worst, no better than 2 Mbps. The Prima, apparently, the worst of the worst - let's hope they can switch to StarLink if they can work out the deals. MTN's latency was much higher & ping time shown here in the 100 ms range, definitely will help those trying to stream on the premium tier if NCL choose to switch over. Results are very simlar to what @graphicguy reported As for more competitive and lower prices, I wouldn't hold my breath on it and I'm quite sure @fstuff1 will agree (why should NCL lower their prices by 1/3 to 1/2, no way) - now, go find them in person & post some additional pix for CC addicts like some of us. BTW, all is well / good & you are back at sea (enjoy the BA) again 😁 Edited November 8, 2022 by mking8288 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippeedee Posted November 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Someone posted the Starlink global map on another post. There is no coverage at either pole. Iceland and the Arctic are left out, as is the Antarctic. Doesn’t bode well for the Prima next summer and fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstuff1 Posted November 8, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) I can't do voip calls using Google voice. 😞 It seems to connect but no ringing. Then after a min, disconnect. Tried multiple times and to different phone numbers Edited November 8, 2022 by fstuff1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdemn Posted November 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Don’t care the only thing I use Internet for is the check in on Southwest for my flight home. One of the things I like about Cruzin getting away from it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
