If you can afford $5000 a month for internet maybe you're more likely on a Silent 60 (17 kWp solar) than a Catalina 30.

FWIW if they ever to offer 10 Mb/s plans for ~$150/mo, the power use becomes a question again.

Not really. You won't run it all the time on a cruising yacht. Just when you need it. You probably don't care about having internet constantly under passage just for short times to get weather and to send out updates to friends and family.

At 50-100W you might not, that's close to what your fridge uses. Make it 10-20W and it becomes no brainer to keep always on.
