Oliver Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I believe the surf package is caped to a speed of 0.5 to 1 MPs. And the surf and stream package is caped at 4 mps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 It's purely speed. Think dial-up versus early DSL. I make audio calls over Surf. Some have reported doing video calls over Surf but it will be not as clear or good as Surf & Stream. I've used Pandora over Surf because it can buffer and tolerate slower connections. Surf: Surf & Stream: In both cases it's over satellite so not the same experience as with land internet. Bad weather can impact speeds, at times the satellites are in the wrong position relative to the ship and heading. Alaska internet will yield a different experience.

Matt Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 In my opinion, you're better off with the Surf and Stream package for the overall better online experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surf and Stream for sure if you want to FaceTime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
