Question
Global Internet access while sailing?

Can anyone advise of good global Internet equipment and/or provider access option§? Tried Clearwire, Alaska’a ACS and AT&T, but need to find service that is accessable anywhere in world’s ocean areas, if possible.

Submitted by: C.Hunter
Answer

There are really only 2 ways to do this.

1. Through shortwave signals
2. Through satellite

Either way, you are going to need to get some equipment.

Internet through shortwave is slow (it comes through a phone line (or data line), to a relay for shortwave).

Satellite, like the Iridium Phone Service, is faster, but very expensive still.

Here is a communication forum on the subject.

I have used sailmail.com.
Check their "getting connected via satellite or internet".
