The best deal now is Sprint - they have an unlimited data plan that's $10 extra, so you
can get a reasonable cell plan for $49 a month. Of course, Sprint coverage sometimes
leaves a lot to be desired, but if you're in their area, it works out.

I'm told that the advertised rate is 144kBaud, though in practice its somewhat less. It
is, however, much better than dialup. I have a friend that stayed online much of the time
while he wintered at anchor in the creeks around Georgetown, SC.

Does anyone use or have used satellite hookups to get on the internet...

In response to demand from fulltime RVrs, many campgrounds are providing
local wireless internet service. If you have a wireless modem you can
hook up to fast broadband. Normal over-land range is several hundred
yards - over water???. Any marinas have it yet? Seem like it'd sell
slips at least as good as it's selling campsites.
