My unit is about to go on rotation to Poland and germany for 9 months. I'm wondering what's the best Internet/wifi option there? Also approx how much does it cost. Would need wifi for laptop for school work. Please help! Thank you !

A lot depends on where you will be located in those countries. You should update your status if you are no longer a civilian.

You will probably get an In Country brief when you get there. Not to mention a Left Seat/Right Seat opportunity with your counterparts. All of those questions will probably be answered then.

It depends on what the local internet companies are

That is usually put out to the unit following the predeployment site survey PDSS or the outgoing unit hands offf what they have. The USO may have established support sites which feature free wifi.

Then again you may be in rural Poland.

Your post PX should sell sapphire wireless pucks. They are about $150 and comes with a gig of date and you can add more as you go along. Do you know what part of Poland?
