Hackpba Posted October 18, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Keep in mind when you are at sea that the internet connection is very SLOW!! Like almost back to dial up speed days. We would spend 5 to 7 minutes just getting to our e-mail site when trying some days. I would recommend at least buying 30 minutes worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
