Starlink

You got me curious so I checked my  phone specs.

Wifi 6 came out in 2019.

 I bought my moto Android 12 phone in dec 2022 but still only has wifi 5 (ac).

But it only costs me $40 on sale. I guess only higher end phones come with wifi6?

Another interesting note about ncl's Starlink:

I'm on unlimited basic and i can't connect to my VPN.

 

On celebrity, who also uses Starlink, i can connect to my vpn.
But on Celebrity, i'm on unlimited premium.

I don't think you can say the extra Mbps is a result of wifi6.  

 

3.5mbps is well within the capability of the last few wifi standards. 

 

Most likely it's because the test was done at midnight when a lot of people are in bed.

That's the difference.  Sign up for NCL's Premium internet plan and you'll get VPN access on NCL as well.  It's listed right on the description...

I think on Non-starlink ships I could connect to VPN with unlimited basic.

My VPN provider has like 8 different protocols to connect to it.

I'll find out when I'm on sky 10day next month and report back. (Maybe on my thread about trade in promo minutes for unlimited.)
