Creator's Key Takeaways
starlink was absolutely capable of going up to 78 megabits per second which is a huge number for a cruise ship
download speeds have stayed around 10 to 15 megabits per second upload speeds you know i think they've really stayed around the one to two megabits per second speed which is pretty low
upload speeds on the other hand have been a little on the frustrating side if you're trying to make voice over wi-fi phone calls it's not a really great reception
i'm not sure that i would really trust it just yet i think that there is still a lot of potential here

After rolling out Elon Musk's StarLink on Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas in June, I was excited about the potential of what this could mean for internet at sea and cruise ship Wi-Fi! After using it for 2 months, will share the starting download and upload speeds and those we are experiencing today (they are different). These low flying satellites are thought to be a game changer for those of us who want internet connectivity in remote corners of the world. Will also discuss the user experience of StarLink onboard Freedom of the Seas.
