Disney Dream now using Starlink

Maybe the info was already public, in which case I apologize for the double post.

Now on the Disney Dream and the internet has been “upgraded” to use SpaceX Starlink.

In case you're wondering, no, it doesn't change the speed in any way. Fingers crossed, at least, we'll get better coverage during the EBTA crossing.

Where were you when you checked? In a port? At sea? Doing the West bound in October so interested in “Middle of the Ocean” connectivity!

We are day 2 of our voyage. But I remember doing a speedtest when we left Fort Lauderdale and it was about the same so not sure I could blame the location, I believe there is a system-wide shaping in place.

The most fascinating thing about Starlink is watching the train of satellites fly overhead. See the following link for when they are visible in your area. It is quite a site! The Starlink satellites are easily visitable in light polluted suburban areas, but only for a few minutes. SpaceX is actually trying to reduce the brightness due to many complaints.
