Wi-Fi at sea just got faster.

Through a combination of technologies, U.K. company Wired Ocean is now
offering Internet access to ships at sea at a more affordable price. The
solution is a hybrid of Ku-band satellites for downlink and L-band
satellites for uplink.

It's not broadband at lightning-fast speeds, but it will do, and it will
save you some money. The savings, according to the company, could be as much
as 70 percent.

The company conducted sixth months of trial involving 10 ships sailing in
the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
