Not telco, but I can put in a brief mention of Unwired. One of the cafes in town just got an access point (yeay) provisioned by Unwired (oh). It's only been installed for a couple weeks, but I am rather underwhelmed. It's ok for email, but I was trying to to get some remote systems administration done this morning, and it was a most unpleasant experience - poor latency and worse, dropping connections. > The limitation is that I need it working on a boat It may seem overkill, but depending how far offshore you're heading don't screw around, just get an Inmarsat terminal. [I've got an old Nera Worldphone Mini-M terminal for sale, if anyone wants it :) I used it quite successfully in remote locations in Europe.
