Are Mobile Internet Devices for Laptops Worth It?

I'm thinking of getting a plug in mobile internet service for my laptop. They say it is three megabites and will be all the time we need to use the internet unless somebody is hooked on games. No one is but I have no idea just how much use this would give us. Can anyone give me any idea?

We can get this for around $30 a month where a regular internet service will be much more expensive than that since it's for a business.

Thanks, cb. That's something like what I was afraid of. We went ahead and sprung for regular internet.

Our area is on the fringe of the seven county area the plan covered, so we would not have had extended coverage at all but it would have coverage at the main location. I hate the way they pull people in and don't tell them things like that. It might be that your sister could get in touch with the utilities commission in your state and get a reversal on the contract. We've had to do that in the past, and if Verison misrepresented the plan, they'll be more than glad to back down when the utilities commission questions them.

We hate long term contracts. That's what the main problem was in finding an internet supplier here. Everyone wanted three-year commitments. I'm not sure what I want to be doing that far ahead, and if a chance comes to sell our business, I want to do it without all the commitment crap. We finally worked out an arrangement with the phone company for a one year commitment at a reasonable price. When they realized we were not going to meet their out-of-reason demands, they made us a deal.

Good luck to your kin.
