-Bandwidth varies by the class of the research vessel (number of berths). You can expect a //minimum// of 4Mbps on a global vessel, 2Mbps on an intermediate vessel, and 512kbps on a coastal/local vessel. This is 50x to 200x slower than a typical fiber-optic home internet connection and costs roughly 500x more.+Bandwidth varies by the class of the research vessel (number of berths).

 +In recent past, the Office of Naval Research has funded 'Expanded Bandwidth' capabilities on Navy-owned vessels with speeds of up to 15x8 Mbps CIR → 20x20 Mbps MIR. To extend this funding, Expanded Bandwidth is available only when vessels are operating in more remote locations (far from their home port), or have ROVs or manned submersibles onboard (which could require more remote engineering/diagnostic support).
