Internet Maintenance

[Bead Pirate]

On a B2B today (Indy) and when we went to Star lounge around 9:00 for the walk-through customs I observed 30 contractors all wearing same style shirt (color, logo, etc.) and of course I had to know what they are up to. Talked with one of the guys on the way down to customs and they are on-board for 30 days to conduct maintenance on the Internet system on board. 

 

They then move to another ship and do the same work. I asked if this was starlink related and the comment was "not really we are just working to expand bandwidth, etc."

They are upgrading the on-board networking to improve reception and reliability in all cabins.

I would guess they are installing new WiFi routers, and installing new ones to increase accessibility and reliability.

 

I'm on Jewel right now, WiFi away from the stairs is horrible.
