Does you Boat have Wifi internet?

. I’ve had boats where one or two folks didnt know how to manage their data and used up the crews data rations. The rest of the crew was pissed but the month ended and the data reset. This doesn’t

I’ve been digging into the crew wi-fi/internet question the last month and have been struck by how complex it is.

Example: I’ve been told the following;

1. The Starlink Mobile Global plan is for unlimited shore internet use. However, it doesn’t work if the station (vessel) is travelling at a speed of more than 10 mph, or more than 10 miles off shore. So not an option for faster vessels that work over the horizon from land.
2. There is an 'ocean roaming service" for ocean-going routes. 1-TB /month for $1,000, or 5-TB for $5,000. If you have one Starlink unit/plan per boat then the crew has to share that data. For a four-man crew that’s 250MB/man/month for the 1-TB plan. For a 100-man crew that’s 1MB/man/month. ETC.

Anyone know if this is true?
