stones902 Posted July 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2023 It’s been a couple of years since we’ve sailed on the Constellation and I recall the WI-FI service at that time wasn’t very good. Does anyone know if the ship has been incorporated into the Starlink system yet? We’ve found the WI-FI on the Edge and Apex to be excellent. Hoping that the rest of the fleet is also upgraded.

goofysmom99 Posted July 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Yes, Constellation has Starlink and premium speed is fine for streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have basic Wifi included as part of our everything package, is that Starlink or something else ? Not really into streaming but I need to check email and Blink cameras daily.

Starlink is simply the means that the ship uses to connect to the internet, whether you have basic Wi-Fi service or premium. Basic service allows one to send and receive emails, download and print a boarding pass, maybe send a text. Premium allows streaming data - watching TV shows or video, listening to Pandora or some other streaming music service. Either way, with Starlink your service should be much better than it has been on this service in the past. We were on the Apex in April and were really pleased with our premium internet quality on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted July 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Both Basic and Premium Wifi using Starlink are throttled down. If you search on the topic you should find a number of threads including mine from Silhouette TA where I recorded speeds daily. Generally I've see Premium capped at about 6 Mg Down 3 Up and Basic about 2 mg down and 1 up. Edited July 12, 2023 by Jim_Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
