serialcruiser48 Posted January 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I thought Voom on the Indy was 03b (true Voom) , but testing shows high orbit garbage with HARRIS CAPROCK. Major disappointment ! Just purchased the surf and stream and ping test show >600 ms. I'm really upset. I endured a flight to FL and now I get stuck with high orbit garbage.

chooseauser Posted January 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2017 But..what does that even MEAN? If that were in English...perhaps we'd be of more help? Poor connectivity, high latency. In other words the internet connectivity is not as fast as described/advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serialcruiser48 Posted January 6, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It means VOOM is not very voomy.;) Indeed! True Voom is ping rates <300 ms as I experienced on the Allure and Oasis. It was falsely reported true Voom on the Indy and I booked two weeks on this ship and three weeks in Apr thinking I was going to get O3b (true Voom) only to find high orbit garbage (i.e. Ping rates >650 ms). I owned an Internet business in '95 and know about the Internet. I know how to test it and report my findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serialcruiser48 Posted January 6, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Here are the test result for the Indy 1/6/17 https://**********/a/gPyP3 I'm not able to post the link or upload a photo, but it would show 1.33 Mbps down 2.08 Mbps up and 879 ms ping rate. And this is Surf and stream service on the second day of the cruise. It will get much worse toward the end of the cruise.

Twin Dad Posted March 1, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Sure didn't seem like it on our 2/20/2017 sailing. I wasn't streaming, just surfing. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taalman5@sbcglobal.net Posted March 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If zoom isn't a strong signal on Indy will my wifi calling (texting) work is most areas of the boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If zoom isn't a strong signal on Indy will my wifi calling (texting) work is most areas of the boat? Yes, we've found WiFi coverage pretty good all over the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
