Other than PAYING the ridiculous prices that most cruise ships charge. Please post sites if you have them.

Forget about using the ships internet service. Like you said its way way overpriced and the reception access speed will be poor also. Remember that the ship is moving so its having a hard time keeping trained on the satellite. The last cruise we were on the service was so bad at sea that we got a refund.
Here's what I suggest instead. When you get to ports find an internet cafe. Sometimes they are located right on the dock. We found them right near the dock in Grand Caymon, Costa Rica, Russia and a couple other places. Generally you can get an hour of high speed for $2 or 3 dollars, vs $100 on ship. We usually go on tours in ports, but I always ask the tour guide if there are internet cafe's and where they are. We found them in a 7/11 in one country and in a grocery store in another. Next time we go I will do some Google searches for the port cities to see what I find; that's what I suggest you do.

So far, I have found the best option is to get the onboard access. It is costly, but you are usually better off just paying for the length of cruise access, it will save you money over the per minute rate.

Carnival has several ships that have wireless capabilities in some cabins. Space is limited but if you act quickly once you get on board its pretty reasonable.

They pretty much have a monopoly on internet at sea. Unless you got an awesome laptop with a satellite connection.
