I'm sure it takes more bandwidth to become a supernode than is available
to most boaters.

Even if you're getting full wifi bandwidth both ways, it's likely your
wifi connection is hooked to a cable, DSL, or ISDN line with no more
than 128k upstream, if that.

Even with 256k upstream on a cable connection, I never went "super."

I wouldn't worry about it.
