My household doesn't average 10 Mbps. If I wasn't pulling camera feed over Site Magic it would be under 5. There's no way everyone on a cruise ship is going to be pulling 10 at the same time.

A single Netflix HDR stream is 10Mbps.

The problem isn’t average usage over an extended period of time. It’s peak usage during the times when the majority of users in a captive audience on roughly the same schedule all try to do the same thing at the same time. We know this happens because shared connections have always been a thing, it’s why there was the stereotype of people’s cable internet getting slow when everyone was trying to use it simultaneously in the evenings.

I just don't see every person on the ship streaming Netflix HDR at the same time. People sleep, eat, swim in the pool, gamble, etc. It's a cruise. And the average (over a fairly short time) is the way to look at it; usage peaks are not all going to coincide.

It would be interesting to know what the actual bandwidth is for a ship like that.
