Internet Surf vs Unlimited Xcelerate

[ancientart]

We are deciding between the Surf Internet and the Unlimited (Xcelerate) on the Soltisce.

 

For those that may have taken the basic Surf package, how are the speeds? Does it slow to a degree of being unusable? We do not stream Facetime, Skype or vids onboard. However, we do check work emails and have the occasional attachment. We also tend to upload photos (although of mobile size <1MB). 

 

So, the question really is, is the basic package usable (making the unlimited overkill for us)? Or, does it throttle down so much that it's not usable at sea when everyone is online?

 

TIA

Someone has reported that in another thread on 3/21 who did a speed test on Solstice with the Simply Surfing Package. They got 0.61Mbps download and 0.12Mbps upload. So a 1MB file, it will take about a minute to upload.
