Hello,

I am following up on our WIFI decisions from our trip in December.
Here is what we found out. No shocker here, but spoiler alert, you get what you pay for...

We were with Sunsail, not TMM this trip so we were on the hunt for WIFI at better than $40/day. A Mom Dad, 18 and 20 year old sons, (judge away but we all like a bit if connected time, weather, vids, et cetera. As long as it isn't work related)

Our findings:
1) No doubt the easiest thing: is spend the money at Sunsail and you can buy unlimited wifi $40 a day.

2) Hardest thing: travel all over Toronto for weeks before the trip looking for an unlocked mifi that I can use with a local Digicel sim card. Finally get to the infamous mall where all electronics of various shades of grey are available, negotiate away, and come up away with an $85 dollar MIFI that "is definitely unlocked for anywhere in the world"
Show up at digicel in Road Town, buy a 7gig card for $70 and ... NO JOY

3) Middle of the Road Option; (what we ended up with) at digicel in Road Town they sold us, on the spot, a MIFI for $80US and it worked with their card.
(That is what I had wanted to do in the first place but when I originally called down to digicel they said they don't stock them and you had to have a local address to order one. That was not true )

I now own a digicel mifi, that next time I can just get the SIM card loaded with the time we need.

I am curious. What are other wifi solutions are out there?

Also but unrelated, I need to give a big shoutout and thanks to Nick at Leverick Bay. Not only did he book us a rental jeep and keep that all sorted for us, we had an "almost boat hook tragedy" (the rivets gave way and the hook came of the handle so we had and separate handle and hook,) note bien: a boat hook without the hook is not nearly as useful a tool. But he was able to make us whole again. Many thanks Nick!

Take care,
