peach section Posted August 3, 2016 #27 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) hi, Speedtest today from Promenade, deck 5 by Guest services. location: Sea day just passing the southern tip of Florida. This will be my last update. Bob is correct, results are variable. I am off to continue enjoying this beautiful ship. ping: 712 ms down: 0.20 mbps up: 2.03 mbps Off topic: ship is great, crew has been friendly and helpful. Great communication from the captain before, during and since the itinerary change due to Earl. Godon and Gabriela (activities director and group coordinator) hosted the meet and mingle. Gordon was disappointed that over 50 CC members signed up, and only 8 attended. Edited August 3, 2016 by peach section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchases the Surf+Stream package for my upcoming cruise and was expecting to be better than that. Can you ask for a refund? Lol...

Hope it has some speed to it, sounds like it will be a major disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomanycritters Posted August 4, 2016 Author #35 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks for the in-depth discussion everyone. Ping speeds I know a little something about because my son is constantly complaining to me when he's trying to do on-line gaming....especially when we are streaming something at the same time on the TV such as Netflix. Apparently I am singlehandedly responsible for ruining his team's efforts at League of Legends due to 'lagging'. :p Anyway, I wonder if the poor speeds posted by Peach Section were due, in part, to the fact there was a hurricane and lots of people were probably accessing the internet at the same time to view re-routing options, not to mention significant cloud coverage????:confused: I don't know, but I'll find out in a couple of weeks and will report my findings too. Thanks again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people, yes, cloud cover, no - sat signal is usually not affected by cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyweir Posted August 11, 2016 #39 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I was on Liberty last week. I got the one device unlimited basic internet package. It was decent enough for a FB update or a Southwest check in. I didn't try streaming, but I did watch a few clips on FB. The speed would change depending on where we were as it's all satellite based.

AustinCruise Posted August 15, 2016 #41 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Speedtest results from last week. Edited August 15, 2016 by AustinCruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted August 15, 2016 #42 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Speedtest results from last week. I assume that was for the SURF package. There doesn't seem to be much throttling on the up link but the .5 MBs down is what others have reported. That would probably make for a really sucky interactive experience.

AustinCruise Posted August 15, 2016 #43 Share Posted August 15, 2016 That was the upgraded surf & stream. I didn't bother streaming anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted August 15, 2016 #44 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Ouch - that's really bad for STREAM. I'd want my money back with those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachBum777 Posted September 18, 2016 #45 Share Posted September 18, 2016 30 miles offshore not bad ping is very low from what I've read. Way better than princess but the bartender says it slows down considerably once we get out to sea will report back a couple more times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
