Hi All,
What I got from previous posts is Verizon is the way to go for East Coast coverage. But what I haven't found is somebody's experience using it while cruising and more specifically how far out can you go without losing signal.
I have never sailed the Atlantic coast before. My plan is to sail from Florida back to Canada. However I need to have Cell/Data connectivity all the time preferred for work, RDP back to my servers. A friend sailor says he gets signal out in the middle of Lake Ontario 40 kms (24 miles). But I can't assume I would have the same generous signal out on the Atlantic Ocean while I cruise up. Would I be nieve to think if I sailed 5-10 miles off shore all the way up that I would have connectivity? And if I ran into pockets of poor signal does anybody know what areas I need to plan for where I need to sail closer to shore?
Thanks All!
