If you live on a boat and are looking (primarily) for usage while in a harbor, consider looking into a directional antenna to a wireless broadband connection. If you can find someone willing to share (or install at your cost) a 802.11(g/n) access point, you might be able to grab the signal using a YAGI antenna on your boat. It depends upon how well you're moored in order to maintain your antenna position, or even if you are in a location which might have broadband access within range of the mooring area.

Some areas also are served natively by antenna based broadband. A friend of mine has 8Mb/s service this way in the San Jose area.
