Satellite Internet Forum

We are going to be sailing around the world for 3 years next year and I need to know if anyone knows of the best way to set up for 2-way satellite internet (and phone). I realize I likely can't do it while moving but I'd be willing to stop !!!

Hello, I am a new user and am planning on traveling via boat from Seattle to Alaska. I am looking to find a system where upon I can get dependable internet and phone service through a satellite when I am tied up at a dock or calm anchor. Has anyone had experience with this type of issue or opportunity. Thank you

I will be cruising the Caribbean, north coast of South America, and Central America in a 42ft sailing catamaran.

What are my options for satellite internet on the boat, bearing in mind that the boat is always moving, even when moored?

thanks

I have just bought a Maplins Camping Kit Dish etc for occasional use on a boat when stationary. I have figured out how to assemble but would welcome advice on how to line up to a satellite for European TV reception. I have GPS available but cannot see any way to change the angle of elevation on the dish.

Where do I start?  Would welcome any advice.

Okay, so to say it quickly, I'm looking at buying a boat and living on it on the canal srunning through Scotland (the Union Canal and Forth and Cyde Canal). However, I'll be requiring internet access fairly frequently to get my work done, which is a bit difficult when cables aren't going to be accessible!

Anybody knows the satellite internet service company for the fishing boats and merchant vessels trading at Pacific and Indian ocean.

We are looking for the service company to provide internet access, e-mail and VOIP to our managed vessels.
