We have Starling RV/Roam running in Coral Bay, St. John on our boat. We see 60-80mbps down and 4-8mbps up in a vanilla setup sitting on deck; I have the parts to mount on a mast, but it has not been required. We're heading down the chain to Grenada starting mid-May. Friends ahead of us are having good coverage with the Roam subscription; things could change with the terms and conditions changes. Worst case, we will move to the Global subscription.
We have backups. Viya works better than AT&T at our mooring in Coral Bay. When we get to St. Martin we will get a Digicel 100GB per month mobile plan as backup. Previous years, patching together weekly plans to cover our Internet needs was a pain.
Cheers, RickG
