Title: Email and Internet at Sea
#2
http://www.bbxpress.net/

They have a daily use at $10.95 or a 3 day weekend at $22. Various other monthly and yearly packages and rates. They are at most major marinas on up into Canada. Service is ok, but having a hi-gain antenna and /or one of their PCMIA cards is fairly necessary for decent speed.

I do very well just plugging my Moto v551 in with a cable or bluetooth and connecting with Cingular. I have a MediaNet unlimited acct. Speeds aren't fantastic, but adequate for email and light surfing. Coverage is pretty good, even out in the San Juans.
