I have had issues for years on both X and RCI. Have had to wait till ashore on a different Wi-Fi or on 4G to post. It’s very annoying when you’re trying to do a “live from” They really don't blocking CC, it is as simple as overly aggressive traffic shaping on the basic WiFi, the connection to the site is not blocked, it just doesn't get enough bandwidth to load the pages before things start timing out. It became more noticeable when they rolled out Starlink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cublet Posted August 27, 2023 #27 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Hello, It was also more noticeable on a Saturday afternoons or any other time when a sports programme was being broadcast and bandwidth given over to that. Regards, Cublet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted August 27, 2023 #28 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) So in essence, the new program has a neg affect on those who have the basic internet as a perk ( Elite minutes or in an "inclusive" package?)? Internet used to be awful on M Class ships.. they would often adjust back one's minutes because of poor function. now back to square one unless we pay ? i will.let my dh know..he might want to upgrade..but the game he likes might not work anyhow. Not planning on bringing anything but the old Samsing tablet...still good for reading books Edited August 27, 2023 by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no problems with that sort of game on the basic WiFi. Edited August 27, 2023 by Mark_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Elite minutes are the premium, AI is basic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly CC was only marginally available with basic even with the old internet. With the basic you should still be able to get your e-mail, browse the internet except pages that are data intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
