You may be able to do so if you get the Premium Plan.  Not with the Basic.  Right now I believe you cannot purchase the Basic Plan unless you get it as part of a package with drinks and tips.

We had mixed results with the Premium Plan depending on where the ship was located and the number of cruisers using the service.

I've personally been very successful with streaming media.   As @keesar indicated that it may depend on proximity of your room to a router in the hallway.    Premium using Starlink has been very stable for my needs. 

 

Other Factors that may affect your streaming pleasure -

 

1.  Providers caching ability (Netflix is very good)

 

2.  Whether the streaming service has geographic streaming restrictions.  Some providers to not allow streaming content outside resident country.

By the way, when we were on Equinox, a technician came into our room (not at our request) and installer a booster for the WIFI.  The service was excellent.  But as mentioned, there are several factors that may affect the strength of signal.

On Equinox with premium wifi we used the internet as normal. No issues streaming Netflix, YouTube and I even streamed hockey games through websites.
