Satellite Service Providers

[SailingVehicle]

We have started to travel outside the US, generally into Canada where data costs are very high and thinking about getting a satellite service to keep in touch. Has anyone done this and how successful has it been, both in cost and quality? We would be getting a portable unit so that we can disconnect from our FIOS service at home and use it there.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
