I got the Sabre 1 Wideye terminal, about half the price of the next nearest but it works just fine so far. Voice is very clear, email works as fast as broadband and surfing the web needs to be avoided, it's tempting to ignore how many MB it swallows. Once the antenna is locked on, its seems fairly tolerant to boat movement, but I have only used it when moored, so I don't expect it would hang onto the signal at sea. Hence not really comparable with Globalstar or Iridium. It's big plus is its data rate over those systems.

I'll come back with a more knowledgeable opinion at the end of the season.
