Those high speeds are what they are capable of but what you actually
get is slower. For example at home I have WiFi 802.11g. My cable
connection to the internet is 6 Mbit/sec. so no way I am going to get
54 Mbit/sec. And when I measure it I am not getting even that. I
measure it as actually at 3 Mbit/sec. On the ship it is a satellite
connection with a lot of latency. I don't know what their downlink
speed is from the satellite but I have measured the speeds on the ship
to be in the range that Dillon posted, between 200 and 400k/sec.
