Anyone sailing on a Carnival ship who can do a favor for a Cruise Critic editor?

Hi there,

I'm writing an article about how the Carnival Magic supposedly has the fastest Internet speeds of all the Carnival ships. I have an idea of how fast the Internet is on Magic but need to know how fast it is on other ships. If anyone is currently sailing and can go to [URL="http://www.speedtest.net"]www.speedtest.net[/URL] and run a test and then report the results I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks so much!

I have never tested the speed but found the speed of the internet on the ship can be very different depending on the time you are accessing it. Just a thought.

And speedtest.net is also influenced by OS/browser. A chromebook is gonna return a very different speed than a bloated Win7 laptop vs. an iOS device [URL="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speedtest.net-mobile-speed/id300704847?mt=8"](there's an app for that)[/URL].

I'm on Magic next week and I'll test and report back if you don't get any other replies by then.
