Default Wireless Internet while Cruising

If you Google for Verizon Broadband, you should get the details.

From memory, it costs $49.95 for the card for your laptop and that's really
all you need. Then, it costs $59.95/month if you have a cellphone with
Verizon, or $79.95/month if you do not.

We used this system all down the East coast - It worked well, but there were
pockets where there was no coverage and definitely many areas away from
large centers where connections were slow - It seems to automatically switch
from hi-speed technology to slow speed where the newer technolgy does not
exist.

Regarding the Bahamas, only low cost way, is to use the free hot spots -
They do exista nd we have used them. Anyone know if there is a list
somewhere?

Tell us about the plan that you got from Verizon for internet connection.
How much does it cost a month and what kind of coverage do they have?
