Internet SPEED on ship

[robby69]

I have read alot about the internet terminals on board, but does anyone know how fast the surfing is?

Is it 56K dialup speed, DSL speed?
I assume it is satellite based?

The speed of the internet connection onboard the Magic and Wonder is variable. Generally, the speed is much, much faster than dial-up, although I wouldn't say it is as fast (or as reliable) as my cable connection.

I don't think that you will be disappointed in the speed of the service on the ships but you may have times during which the service seems to be running slow or may be interrupted altogether.

To log onto the DIS cruise forum, make one quick post, cost about $6.00, to give you an idea of speed

We bought the $39 unlimited package this past week while we were on the Wonder, and had no problems at all. It is much faster than dial up, as Threecircles stated above.

We also never had to wait for a PC at Internet Cafe, where there are about 10-12 PC's.
